STEVE NILES is one of the writers responsible for bringing horror comics back to prominence, and was recently named by Fangoria magazine as one of it's "13 rising talents who promise to keep us terrified for the next 25 years."
Niles is currently working for the four top American comic publishers - Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse. He got his start in the industry when he formed his own publishing company called Arcane Comix, where he published, edited and adapted several comics and anthologies for Eclipse Comics. His adaptations include works by Clive Barker, Richard Matheson and Harlan Ellison.
Steve resides in Los Angeles in his bachelor pad with one cat. While there's no crawlspace, there is a questionable closet in one corner and no one is quite sure what is hidden in there...but we have an idea.
Uma colecção muito díspare de histórias de terror de Steve Niles. Se este autor surpreende com Criminal Macabre ou 30 Days Of Night, este Horrorcide é claramente feito de obras menores. Divertido, mas não ao grande nível deste autor. A ilustração não ajuda. A maior parte das histórias é desenhada no estilo convencional dos comics, tornando-as ainda mais banais. Só o estilo preto e branco revelando influências do comic clássico de horror de Josh Medors e o expressionismo de Ben Templesmith conseguem que Horrorcide não se torne num livro em que o melhor mesmo é a sua capa.
