The Snifter of Terror returns with an all-star snark-fest under a bloody new title - Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood!Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood continues to cheaply exploit the great Edgar Allan Poe's reputation!

Hollywood Soapbox

“Fun and wild-spirited… hilariously terrifying… darkly humorous and definitely well above the blood alcohol content.” -- John Soltes

SyFy Wire

“Delightful… There's really nothing else quite like Snifter of Blood on the stands right now, in part because each issue just keeps revealing more of what it is and can be. Yes, it's a ‘Horror Host Anthology’ comic in the classic sense, building on the familiar structure imposed by things like Tales from the Crypt, but it's also a deeply funny book even beyond the kind of gallows humor you might expect from a comic building on that tradition.… I'm just extremely glad that a book like Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood is out there in the world right now, keeping certain comics traditions alive and creating new ones at the same time.” -- Matthew Jackson
