Lorelei Presents: House Macabre is a 24-page, one-shot
comic book special that finds the flame-tressed seductress hosting her first
horror anthology, in the tradition of such titles as Tales From the Crypt,
Creepy, and The Twilight Zone. Within its pages, readers will find tales by
Lorelei creator Steven A. Roman (bestselling author of X-Men: The Chaos Engine
Trilogy) and New York Times bestselling coauthor Dwight Jon Zimmerman
(Lincoln’s Last Days). Zimmerman is also the former comics writer of such
titles as Iron Man and Sensational She-Hulk.
Leading off the special is “The Old Dark Manse,” by Roman
and artists Uriel Caton (JSA Annual, The Ex-Mutants) and “Chainsaw” Chuck
Majewski (Harvey Kurtzman’s New Two-Fisted Tales), in which Lorelei welcomes
readers to the decrepit old mansion called House Macabre.
In “All in Color for a Crime,” by Roman and artist Lou
Manna (T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, Young All-Stars), a rare collectible is sought
after by two comic book fans—with one of them having a distinct, and deadly,
advantage over the other.
“The Basilisk,” by Roman and artist John Pierard (Graphic
Classics: Horror Classics), is a one-page history of the lethal mythological
creature that can turn its prey to stone.
Closing out the issue is “Requiem for Bravo 6,” by
Zimmerman and artist Juan Carlos Abraldes Rendo, in which a special ops team goes
on a life-or-death mission that has a special twist.
Providing cover art for Lorelei Presents: House Macabre
is renowned “bad-girl art” specialist Louis Small Jr. (Vampirella, Vampirella
Strikes, Codename Knockout).
