From an ice cream cone who makes a deal with the devil(' s food cake), to a moldy strawberry who wants one last dip in a bowl of cream, Bites of Terror offers ten macabre, hilarious tales featuring adorable anthropomorphic food characters caught in horror story scenarios complete with twist endings. Each tale is introduced by your horrible host, the Cake Creeper, a partially eaten groom' s cake with an agenda of his own. And because presentation is so important for every meal, the stories are told in "diorama comic" format- they read like a comic or graphic novel, but instead of drawings, the images are photographs of sculpted characters, looking good enough to eat and staged on custom-made sets full of fascinating details. You' ll be tempted to reach into the pages and save the cute food people from their fates. . . but you can' t. In the tradition of Tales from the Crypt and other classic horror comics, Bites of Terror proves that horror and humor are a tasty combination.
"A genre blend carefully considered, and seemingly designed for the movies weirdos that skulk the darkest corners of eBay on the hunt for out-of-print DVDs and even the more sordid VHS. It deals in the grim of humanity but never loses itself to its misery. "--Film School Rejects "Funny and inventive. "--The Free Lance-Star"An absolute blast for those of us with very specific sensibilities. . . every page is clever and appealing, and every story is worth its salt. "--Forever Young Adult
Liz and Jimmy Reed are the husband-and-wife team behind Cuddles and Rage, a world full of disturbingly cute stories with heart. What began as a webcomic featuring doodles and dioramas of anthropomorphic food has grown to include books, animation, and product design. Their work has been featured by Nerdist, The Washington Post, NPR, HelloGiggles, and SparkLife; they' ve created content for clients such as Netflix, TLC, Adopt-a-Pet. com, Science Channel, and AwesomeCon. Their first animated short debuted at the NYC Food Film Festival in 2016. In 2017, their second short took home the Best Super-Short award. They live and work in the DC area and can be coaxed to visit other cities with cake and ice cream. All art by Liz and Jimmy Reed
