New York City, 1972 - Comic book artist, Wally Carson, has been illustrating the stories of a reclusive writer named Salazar without ever having met the man in person. When Salazar suddenly misses his deadlines, Carson is sent to find out what's happened to the company's best-selling writer.
Carson meets resistance from the writer's wife, but when he insists, he is shocked to find Salazar in a catatonic state. When other artists at the company want to collaborate with the elusive Salazar, Carson realizes he will have to make Salazar disappear-piece by piece, if necessary.
Tim McGregor's Taboo in Four Colors is a darkly atmospheric love letter to the classic EC Comics' 'Crime SuspenStories.' This is no parody or pastiche. Pitch perfect in tone and content, McGregor does William Gaines and the rest of the EC gang proud with this blood-curdling chiller!
-Bracken MacLeod, author of 13 Views of the Suicide Woods and Closing Costs
Taboo in Four Colors is tender yet savage, horrifying yet beautiful, disturbing yet full of love and dark obsession. A beguiling story with fabulous characters and wondrous prose; at times making it feel as if I were listening to a dear friend regale me with a personal tale of woe. McGregor has crafted a powerful story which demonstrates why literature still matters and how it has the ability to move the reader if we let it... a triumph of a book!
-Ross Jeffery, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Tome and Only The Stains Remain
