SIX ISSUES OF UTTER MADNESS…

GET READY TO FEEL YOUR BRAIN BOIL…

ELDRITCH! #6:

“Monsters”

Owen Sobczek is King of the Monsters. He’s got one rival’s head in his claws and another locked inside a living Amazonian straight-jacket. But before the new king can spread his writhing black infection to the rest of the world, there’s just one more battle to fight in the SEARING CONCLUSION to the ELDRITCH! saga!

CACOPHONOUS THANK YOUS to everyone who stuck by your raving mad guides all through the dank, twisty worm-tunnels of ELDRITCH! We’re sorry there is so little of your body and mind left, but we trust the sacrifice was worth it. (You were delicious, anyway!)

For those in suspense: There WILL be an ELDRITCH! print compilation later this year. The shambling zombie armies of SLG Publishing are busy killing and dismembering trees as we speak. The book will be HARDBOUND, filled with bells and whistles, and encased in a thin layer of your own still-living flesh. Fit for consumption by the Dread Arkaan himself.

Details are IMMINENT.

Thanks again for your support, ELDRITCHites! And keep searching the skies, scrying the entrails, and scanning police blotters for grim portents of the rise of ELDRITCH! BOOK TWO…

YOU THOUGHT YOUR SANITY WAS RESTORED…

BUT WITH HOOK AND CLAW THEY DRAG YOU BACK…

ELDRITCH! #5:

“Screams In the Pool-House”

Willoughby Manor is pulsing with horrors. It writhes with evil, crawls with monsters, and aches to spread its hideous infection across the earth. Master Chaston Willoughby III wants to set all his dark fantasies free… but first he’s got to confront the girl with the Darwin tattoo.

We beg you – BEG YOU – not to look into the face of ELDRITCH! #5.

So many hours spent wrestling the unholy, speaking the unspeakable, dreaming the foulest of blasphemies, all to bring into our world something we now know you must not see… Something that no mortal can bear seeing… We tell you now: YOU CANNOT BEAR THE SHOCK OF ELDRITCH! #5.

But you will not listen. YOU WILL NOT LISTEN…

The whole thing comes crashing to earth JULY, 2012.

VISIONS OF NEEDLE-TOOTHED BABIES DANCE IN YOUR HEAD…

ELDRITCH! #4:

“The Dream-Quest of Ted Newbarn”

Theodore “Ted” Newbarn is a real “Regular Joe.” He likes fast cars, chocolate cake, Huey Lewis AND The News. He also has a torso filled with angry black tentacles and an unkillable demon for a baby. And as soon as he figures all that out… man, oh man, things are gonna BURN.

RING IN A TERRIBLE NEW YEAR with a fresh serving of ELDRITCH!

ELDRITCH! has returned unto you, ye devoted! Your conjurers humbly beg forgiveness for the impure conjurings that delayed our final victory. But fear not! Even now, ELDRITCH! #5 charges toward us through the snow-choked hinterland, drawing ever closer…

The end-game begins in the cold heart of FEBRUARY, 2012!

ELDRITCH! #4 IS DELAYED TWO (2) WEEKS! (UNTIL DECEMBER 14th)

It seems the dread miasma that delayed ELDRITCH! #3 never fully withdrew, curling its tendrils around our inky conjurer once more. At this moment D. Rausch is attempting to bring ELDRITCH! #4 to life using nothing but the ink-stained nubs where his hands used to be, bravely continuing the conjure even as his body continues to rot and collapse around him.

It was thought we could maintain our targets, but alas, the miasma digs DEEP. Sadly, the dawn of ELDRITCH! #4 will come not next week, but on Wednesday, Nov. 2. (IN LATE NOVEMBER) All further summoning times will be adjusted accordingly.

Our apologies for the additional delay! But I assure you, these last three issues will be well worth the suffering. The horrors grow heavy as we near the end of the line…

IN THE MEANTIME… In the spirit of Halloween, summoner Rausch is posting some exquisite Haunted Mansion sketches on his blog (drawn through the loathsome haze of his rapidly crumbling mind) this month. PLEASE OBSERVE. And leave him a note to tell you what you think before his sad form finally succumbs to the grey dust.

ELDRITCH! #3: “The Instruments of Fear”

Anya Sobczek is locked in a Chamber of Horrors. A surgical table. Rusty scalpels. A tank of roiling black blood, dozens of mean-looking machines, and the hissing head of Medusa herself. CLACK – the door opens, and Anya the Unbeliever gets ready to start a war…

ELDRITCH! #2: “A Hiss From the Cradle”

Owen Sobczek is filled with angry black worms. His fearsome skeptic sister Anya wants to know why. They might have been conjured by Owen’s coven of wealthy teenage occultists. They might have been built behind locked doors in the Newbarns’ suspiciously lovely home. Or they may have crawled out from someplace much, much darker.

The terror writhes deep under your skin in the new chapter of ELDRITCH!
