"Mahler has succeeded in injecting human neuroses into the horror realm in a way that most other over-the-top comedians never broached. It resonates with the part of you that understands that even monsters need a dependable tavern in which to drown their sorrows, fears and foibles." -- Jarret Keene, Las Vegas CityLife

These short stories are intriguing, humorous and incredibly illustrated in a whimsical, yet weighted, sketchy style.
