"Sugar and Other Stories has something for everyone--as long as you've got a strong stomach." - Allison O'Toole, Shades of Fear

A devoted yet amoral creature ensures a girl's blood sugar stays up. A gory ritual creates a charming woman's perfect smile. A neglected and overworked wife is slowly subsumed by violent fantasies. In this collection of short horror comics, cartoonist Joy San masterfully explores the ways in which we contort and control ourselves, balancing the bloody and brutal with unexpected levity.

About the Author

Coffee hour at the local comic shop today, someone ordered a copy of Sugar & Other Stories by @sexytuna after hearing me talk about it. Between in person and the blog I think I'm up to 5 copies sold. Couldn't be happier. It's what horror comics should be. https://t.co/sf44a6WnMQ

Praise for this book

"Joy San has one of the most unique voices in horror, and this collection is a perfect showcase for her distinct blend of charming and macabre. In turns delightful and disgusting, SUGAR AND OTHER STORIES has something for everyone--as long as you've got a strong stomach." - Allison O'Toole, Shades of Fear
"A phantasmagoria of striking visuals and offbeat perspectives, full of promise for a developing talent. Atmospheric and provocative." - Kirkus
"San is a versatile stylist, veering from cuddly to vicious. Her whimsical humor and flair for the horrific make this a treat for genre fans." - Publishers Weekly
"Managing an unlikely synthesis of the playful and the uncomfortable, Sugar & Other Stories is as notable for its experimental curiosity with the medium as it is for its subversion of traditional comics horror." - Broken Frontier
"A true celebration of San's incredible range, with something for horror fans of all kinds." - WWAC
