Broken Frontier

Frank Forte, creator of The Vampire Verses, Insidious Tales and Warlash, is releasing the first issue of a new horror anthology The Asylum of Horrors, through his company Asylum Press.  Sixteen stories, 96 pages, and one low price of $4.95 allow every reader to get a serious value for their comic book dollar.

The premise of the book is that a mad psychiatrist/doctor is running an asylum that has psychotics and kilers as inmates.  This doctor uses experimental treatments and hallucinatory drugs on them. Then he connects their brains to his and watches these inmates induced nightmares.  This is the genesis of the stories inside The Asylum of Horrors.  Each issue will have a beginning and end bumper tale to tie the issue together.

In this giant sized first issue, the inmates at the ASYLUM bring you a new breed of horror. This anthology features sixteen stories from the best writer’s and artists in the industry. In “Human Growth Hormone” by Frank Forte, a geeks love for a girl drives him to desperate measures. “The Last Line” by Atilla Futaki, explores a man’s bizarre train ride. Kevin Colden conjures up a Satanic yarn of lust and death entitled "Caveat Emptor". Other tales include; “Love or Obsession” by Szymon Kudranski, “Madness” a Lovecraftian horror tale by Marcin Ponomarew, “The Parts” by Riste Sekuloski and “Ruined Earth-CARNIGOR” an apocalyptic zombie tale by Billy George.  Also included; "The Cannibal Man" by Robert S. Rhine.  The front and end stories are beatutifully rendered by newcomer J.C. Wong.  Two one-page shockers by fan-fave Nenad Gucunja. Plenty of creep, gore and twists for fans of horror comics old and new.  The first issue's cover features three seductress demons and is painted by the talented Aly Fell.

Frank Forte describes, "This is one book i've been working on for quite some time.  I've always been a fan of horror and now I want to do the kind of book that pulls no punches."

"There will be a lot of good twists that you don't see coming, " Forte continues," we will give the reader plenty of psychological horror as well as blood and gore.  I hope there will be something for everyone."
