Fangs, freaks and fright fill Archaia Black Label's newly announced horror anthology, MOON LAKE, an original graphic novel hardcover coming October 2010 in association with the diversely talented writer/director Dan Fogler and his company, Unkatush, Inc.

MOON LAKE oversized hardcover, full color, 112 pages, 7.25" x 11.25", $19.95 is a collection of short horror stories based in and around the titular, haunted body of water, which was the basis of Fogler's independent horror movie, HYSTERICAL PSYCHO.

"The idea for the graphic novel came from wanting to expand the world of HYSTERICAL PSYCHO," said Fogler. "The movie takes place up north at the eternally haunted region called Moon Lake. The tone of the film is like Alfred Hitchcock on acid meets EVIL DEAD, so I thought, why not do HITCHCOCK PRESENTS on acid, or TALES FROM THE CRYPT on crack, or TWILIGHT ZONE on THC...you get the picture. MOON LAKE is an anthology telling the hysterically horrific tales of Moon Lake from prehistoric times through today and into the possible future. Not all the stories are funny but they sure as hell are freaky..."

"Anyone who loves 50-foot tall zombie dinosaurs, naked women from the dawn of prehistory, horny sasquatches, secret wars on the lunar surface and learning the truth about how humans were created by aliens who spliced their DNA with the DNA of Earth monkeys, I guarantee that MOON LAKE is the one book that you absolutely cannot miss this year," said Archaia Editor-in-Chief Stephen Christy. "Dan Fogler is one of the most amazing creators I've ever had the honor to work with, and I feel so lucky that we've been able to bring his vision to life here at Archaia. I'm only sorry that Dan and I will have to wait to share the wonders of 'Cannibal House' and 'Ben Franklinstein' until MOON LAKE Vol. 2."

Fogler's illustrated alter ego, the Man in the Moon-a demonic spoof of Alfred Hitchcock-will introduce each story in the chapter breaks, featuring the art of rising talent Brooke Allen. Fogler will also write a bonus prose story as part of the extras in the back of the graphic novel, with illustrations by Scott Newman TUMOR.
