Halloween is the one time of year when the rest of the world catches up to what horror comic readers already know: dark, strange, and genuinely unsettling storytelling is the best kind. If you’re looking for horror comics that actually deliver — no sanitized mainstream versions, no watered-down scares — here’s what’s on the Bleeding Pulp reading list this October.
For Gothic Horror Fans: Voltessa
Frankenstein’s greatest creation wakes up stronger than any man, hungrier than any monster, and completely impossible to control. The Electrifying Voltessa and Voltessa: Masquerade of the Macabre are gothic horror pulp at its most unapologetic — mad science, grotesque monsters, savage action, and dark comedy. Limited variant covers still available, including Halloween-themed editions. Browse the Voltessa series.
For Supernatural Horror Fans: Blue Geisha
Feudal Japan. Demons. A blue-skinned assassin born from a dead samurai’s corpse. Blue Geisha is five issues deep into one of the most visually striking supernatural horror sagas in indie comics. Perfect Halloween reading for fans of samurai cinema and dark fantasy. Read the series digitally.
For Body Horror Fans: I Eat Monsters
Annabelle Shepherd was eight years old when monsters destroyed her family. Now she hunts them — and she may be becoming something worse. I Eat Monsters is brutal, psychologically intense, and exactly the kind of horror that stays with you. Three issues available now. Start with issue #1.
For Pulp Adventure Fans: Lady Redbeard
Sea battles. Alien prisons. Time travel. Ancient horrors. Lady Redbeard is the most dangerous pirate on any sea — or in any galaxy. The hardcover collector edition makes an excellent Halloween gift for the pulp adventure fan in your life. Get the hardcover.
All Bleeding Pulp titles are adults-only (18+). None of them pull punches. That’s the point.
