Got a local comic store with Bites of Terror? Please let us know in the comments. We love sending extra goodies to local shops to help boost sales. Local bookstores hold a special place in our hearts. They are curated with love and no algorithm can replace that. We want to continue to shop small and support local stores as much as possible. Some of our local favorites with Bites of Terror and all the goodies (bookplate & scratch + sniff) are @atomicbooks @thirdeyecomics @fantomcomics! #shopsmall #comics #bitesofterror #quirkbooks #graphicnovel #horror #food #humor #foodhumor #mixedmedia #cuddlesandrage https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsEX4TDJKC/?igshid=16qor6xdzhpi9

Here are some closeups of mini props we made for Bites of Terror. (Swipe to see them all and more!) Some of the jokes were so tiny you may have a hard time finding them. Today was a special day for us. It’s our first day of our staycation and our first time going out into the wild to find Bites of Terror in a store! In true vacation style, we are taking a week off of social media. There won’t be a live tomorrow but our Etsy store and shipments are still rockin’. We will be back next Monday and ready to roll. ❤️❤️❤️ #bitesofterror #miniatures #handmade #cakecreeper #cuddlesandrage #cricut #quirkbooks #mixedmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CFswf5mpuVX/?igshid=1lb24fbjs9m5m

Lots of classic horror movies inspired our ten tales for Bites of Terror. We wanted to share a couple of our film faves to see if you can pair them with the stories they helped sculpt (pun intended). The Blob should be an easy guess. Phantasm not so much... Think more setting inspiration than plot!

For this scene in Reap What You Sow from Bites of Terror, we wanted to flood the bedroom with lots of red and pink light. We’ve always loved the color pops in the giallo film Blood and Black Lace. Horror doesn’t have to be all dark shadows and muted color. Swipe right to see the final image used in the graphic novel.

We listened to so many great soundtracks while writing Bites of Terror. Creepshow was definitely one of the top scores we had on repeat. Also, look at that sweet vinyl art! We made a couple of writing playlists on Spotify and YouTube. Just search Bites of Terror. What music do you like to write to? Let us know in the comments. We’re always looking for new artists to check out.

Check out this Cake Creeper CAKE & Eyevon that @storybookcook made. What an honor to have Bites of Terror recreated as actual food. Thank you @storybookcook for bringing the Cake Creeper to life in the real world. I hope he tasted delicious. For buddies who love food and kidlit, go check out @storybookcook’s instagram. We are so thankful to be featured on her page. For those wondering if Bites of Terror is kid friendly, we compare the maturity level to Beetlejuice (minus the swearing and sexy ladies).

This just in! Skeletons find Bites of Terror dreamy. We can’t celebrate Comic Con at Home and not give our new horror anthlogy some love. This was the year where we were going to hit the con circuit hard for Bites of Terror but 2020 had other plans. I’m thankful cons are finding a home online, but you can’t beat the in person opportunities and exposure you get from shows. It’s a great way to introduce your work to new readers who have no clue who you are. My favorite moments are when people come to our table and say “I don’t get it” then take a closer look and go “Ah hah. I still don’t get it but I like it.” To which I reply, “I’ll take it!” If you dig Bites of Terror, please share or write a review on Goodreads, Amazon or wherever books are sold. This will help us recreate that sweet con exposure the best way possible while staying safe. I can’t say this enough! Your support this weekend with Comic Con at Home has been so inspiring. Thank you for all of your notes, excitement, and love. You’ve given us all the con feels that we so miss. If you haven’t grabbed Bites of Terror yet then check out the 25% off sale going on over at Quirk. It’s a steal right now at $11.24: https://quirkbooks.biz/product/bites-of-terror/?v=757e5b5109ed AND don’t miss out on our contest. See our earlier Instagram posts for all the super easy rules. The entries we’ve seen so far are hilarious and warm our little food torturing hearts. #bitesofterror #quirkbooks #foodhorror #skeleton #horror #graphicnovel #comicconathome #homecon #comics #weirdcomics #mixedmedia #shortstories #horroranthology #anthology #foodie #foodhumor #polymerclay #scary #funny #weirdhumor #darkhumor #cute #cuddlesandrage #comiccon #halloween https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEUV4bpH6s/?igshid=1i3gmwxjzkyvy
