Tales from the Crypt #3 Zombielicious Zombielicious (Tales from the Crypt Graphic Novels, 3) by Mort Todd

This graphic novel serves up a chilling yet comedic collection of horror stories, featuring zombies, monsters, and other classic creatures from the crypt. The artwork is vividly grotesque in a cartoonish style that amplifies the spooky fun rather than genuine terror, making the macabre themes accessible through exaggerated, larger-than-life illustrations. Each tale is packed with pun-filled dialogue and a winking sense of humor that undercuts the horror, ensuring the scares are always balanced with laughs. It’s a perfect gateway into the horror genre for young readers, offering creepy-crawly entertainment without being truly frightening.

What sets this book apart is its masterful use of EC Comics-style irony and twist endings, which engage developing readers with clever storytelling and unexpected payoffs. The graphic novel format, with its dynamic panels and expressive characters, is ideal for reluctant readers or any child drawn to visually driven narratives. Parents seeking a lighthearted introduction to spooky stories will find it hits the sweet spot—delivering shivers and giggles in equal measure. This collection turns a feast of frights into a monstrously good time.
