Hello pornies! I hope you are safe and well. I've been thinking a bit, and decided that since I am a bit short of time I could post longer reviews of the comics and manga I already read and commented on my first Instagram account. It may not be as often as I'd like to, since real life is taking its toll on me, but hey, you may discover something good! Today's about Scared Stiff, a OneShot comic by Michael Broderick and R. Tyler.

SCARED STIFF #1 is an amazing anthology of twisted tales of sex and the paranormal. Drawing inspiration from the classic “Tales from the Crypt” comics, as the cover suggests, Scared Stiff features three creatively creepy stories filled with the strange and the horny. It’s three bizarre tales of ass-thumping weirdness! “Defiled” opens the book and transports us to a beautiful beach in Hawaii. Under the setting sun and the warm evening breeze, one particularly hunky but grouchy vacationer runs into an island deity and ends up having the wildest night of his life. “Recent Acquisition” finds a museum security guard getting much more than he ever bargained for when he takes on the night shift. Who knew art could be so dangerous? And lastly, the bizarre tale of “Kevin” proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you should probably never pick up hitch-hikers, no matter how blond and sexy he may be.
The stories are very creative, imaginative and immersive. I wish they had been longer or the beginning of a new series for each of them, maybe just a single issue, but I guess that's part of the charm.
I'm gonna be honest and say that my favorite story is Recent Acquisition, definitely. It's a great modern retelling of Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray, which combines the eroticism and sex we all like with the Gothic horror of the original novel. I can only wonder what could follow after such an encounter! Both Defiled and Kevin are great, Michael Broderick did fine in them, but they pale in comparison.
About the art, I can only say it serves the purpose and makes Scared Stiff look great. I liked how R. Tyler played with the coloring so it had a mayor role to create the eerie atmosphere, mostly in Recent Acquisition and Defiled.
As I said, the only problem is that this is way too short for me, but it certainly arouses the imagination and plays with the darker side of desires, that weird dream we had back then or that we keep imagining no matter what. It's an effective dose of morbid sex if that's what you're looking for.
