AHOY continues to cheaply exploit the great Edgar Allan Poe's reputation with two hilarious new horrors: an updated version of "The Tell-Tale Heart" by James Finn Garner and artist Sandy Jarrell; the original tale of "Winston," a six-year old who terrorizes a town, written by Tyrone Finch with art by Ryan Kelly; and the usual AHOY extra illustrated prose stories. Cover by Penultiman co-creator Alan Robinson.
It can only really be said so many times, but there's nothing to complain about in the Snifter. This book fills a somewhat niche space on store shelves that readers won't find anywhere else. This tongue-in-cheek book is about humor just as much as it's about horror, and does something no other books are even attempting, let alone pulling off. The industry needs more comics like this.

Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood #4 doesn't quite have the punch as previous issues. It's not bad, but it's not as striking as some of the stories we've seen in previous issues. "Winston" has a unique subtlety to it, but it doesn't stand out as much as I would like it to. Keep reading though" Read Full Review
The book never fails to be creative in mixing horror with humor, though it still often reads like a long-running inside joke about Edgar Allen Poe. Read Full Review
