From Balustrade Press:

"Experience terror in blood red, sickly yellow, and ethereal blue. 

Shadows flitting from the corner of your eye beneath the neon of fluorescent lights, the visceral red beneath your skin that protects you from the outside world, the lush green of the dark forest that surrounds and beckons to you. Shades of Fear is an anthology of subtle, psychological horror comics with a focus on emotional and evocative color. These storieswill show you the horror of loss and sacrifice, of what lurks in liminal spaces, and of the unknowable that lies just beyond the veil.
