John Carpenter’s Tales for a Halloweenight: Brooklyn Stories: A Frank Tieri and Cat Staggs Collection

For the last five years, comic legend Frank Tieri has been offering up tales of monsters, both human and supernatural, creeping in the streets of Brooklyn. As it turns out, these big city beasties, be they ghosts, vampires, wendigoes or simply human beings bent on revenge, have been responsible for events as widespread as the Coney Island fire of 1911, the ’77 NY blackout, and even the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn. The “truth” behind all these events is not what the public thinks it is. But thankfully, Tieri is here to set things straight. This covers his stories from John Carpenter’s Tales for A HalloweeNight volumes 4 through 8, including A Haunting Grows in Brooklyn, The Ghosts of Steeplechase, The Beast of Brooklyn Heights, The Brooklyn Basher, and The Night the Lights Went Out in Brooklyn. As an added bonus to the collection, Tieri has written a sixth story, to tie these events and characters together. All six stories are illustrated to perfection by his frequent collaborator Cat Staggs. You’ll never look at New York the same way again.
