R.L. Stine has a way of pulling you into his nightmare and hes still giving me Goosebumps. If you enjoyed his fantastic thrillers in the 90s, you are going to love how his nightmares come alive in the comic book world. Artist Pius Bak continues to ooze talent through his illustrations, the dark shadowing created dramatic tension and a plentiful nightmarescape in which colorist Frances Segalas monster ink deposits blood-thick sentiments that hold you in horror, with flights of fear. From the writing to the illustrations, this killer teams tale of terror sent shocks of adrenaline while eliciting a sense of nostalgia.

Slay Ride is a terrifying and entertaining comic that's perfect for the holiday season. While the concept of an evil Santa may not be new, the story, the art, and the cover make it an experience that horror fans will not forget anytime soon. It's clear that the creator of Goosebumps, R.L. Stine, continues to tell wonderful horror stories, and Pius Bak, Francesco Segala, and Francesco Francavilla have created wonderful art.

Competent though rife with mismatched creatives and choices, you could have a far worse time than "Slay Ride. It's fun and features Santa with a chainsaw and a bag of rats. Just ignore Mall Cop. Read Full Review
R.L. Stine's latest Stuff of Nightmares installment Slay Ride is unfortunately all over the place. Read Full Review
I had an enjoyable time with this book. Nice little horror Christmas story.
Interesting story, but it was kind of all over the place at times.
