Out of the ashes of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS, the immortal EC Comics ushers THE TORMENTOR—a new horror host with an unhealthy interest in human anatomy—into a bloody new horror anthology! Hold onto your head (if it’s still attached) . . . because no one escapes the CATACOMB OF TORMENT!

For Her Royal Travesty of Pain's first request: Master storytellers John Arcudi (B.P.R.D), Marguerite Bennett (Batwoman), Matt Bors (The Toxic Avenger), Evan Dorkin (Beasts of Burden), J. Holtham (The Horizon Experiment), Patricia A. Jackson (Star Wars: Tales from the New Republic), and Matt Kindt (BRZRKR), join artists Valeria Burzo (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss), Kano (EC's Cruel Universe), Lukas Ketner (Count Crowley), David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Shawn Martinbrough (Thief of Thieves), Dan McDaid (Shazam!), Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters Are My Business), Fabiana Mascolo (Cyberpunk 2077), Sami Kivelä (Abbott), Shawn McManus (Fables), and Christopher Mitten (The Autumn Kingdom) to turn the red-hot irons on all-new, blisteringly brutal tales of mayhem and malice in the undying EC tradition!

The critics are already saying, “This is literal torture” and “Please make it stop!” Pick up this fright-packed and fearful first volume—and we might just consider letting them go!
