The GCD claims there's another story in this one, "Birth," but in my copy anyway there's only the three-pager "The Light at South Point," a slight war ghost story. Worse, Karin had already been hypnotized at a party, with a secret, everyday trigger that will compel her to kill herself! It's reminiscent of the Twilight Zone episode "The Jeopardy Room." Nice twist in this one. In "Alone" young Karin's crank caller escalates in an unexpected manner: it's a hypnotist out to avenge his brother's death, since he had killed himself after she broke up with him. Still, as usual, there's no perfect crime although I don't necessarily buy how he gets hung up, as it were. All the better to murder them in a surprisingly visceral two-page sequence. Unlike yesterday's book, today's stories have more adult situations, nudity, and graphic violence it's the 80's cable of comic books! A writer plans on getting rid of his wife and his lover's husband in one stroke, planting letters and gifts pushing them towards each other. From 1986, the Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones #4, story and art by Bruce Jones. Yesterday we had Bruce Jones's Twisted Tales, which was maybe PG-13 horror today we've got the Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones, which is more of a hard R.
