If you listen closely, you'll hear the collective sound of hearts breaking around the world. Alvin Schwartz's book series Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has long been a gateway for kids to get into the genre with its spooky short stories and incredible artwork by Stephen Gammell. Sadly, HarperCollins, publisher of the terror tomes, has made one of the single most bone-headed decisions we've ever reported on.

With so many various Frankenstein projects swirling around us these days, it's hard to keep track of them all, but one we've been keeping an eye on for some time now is Gris Grimly's upcoming three-volume 200-page Frankenstein artbook, and today he showed off one of his newest illustrations.

Taxidermied: The Art of Roman Dirge hit bookstores earlier this week, and to make sure fans of the artist are aware of its release, Titan Books provided us with four exclusive images to share with our readers along with the book's cover art. Read on for the details!

You know us - always on the lookout for cool things to share with our readers. Well, today we have some artwork and illustrations from Boston-based artist and musician Ralph DiNunzio.

It's been a while since we've gotten an update on director Chris Gorak's The Darkest Hour, but if you're attending this weekend's WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco, you'll want to check out the special collectible poster from the film's upcoming companion art book being unveiled by Summit Entertainment, New Regency, and Oni Press during the show.

It's been a few months since we've heard anything from artist/writer/actor/all-around great guy Terrance Zdunich, and now we know why. He's been hard at work on "Allied Forces", Chapter 6 of his portrait of a dysfunctional American family in the 90's, The Molting.

If there's one project that has us excited beyond words if only because of its absolute coolness and badassery, it's The Bloody Best Project, and, man, do we have a treat for you!
