    Hellblazer.
    It's more dark fantasy but there are a lot of unpleasant things happening in there.
    Fatale from Brubaker and Philips is horror noir, really good story.
    Morrison's Kid Eternity is a horror take on a golden age superhero. Weird stuff I would recommend looking up the original character just to have a point of reference.
    Morrison's Nameless is coming out very soon, what I've read of it was really good but bit mind bending.
    Everybody loves Uzamaki but I've never read it, seemed bit too bizarre for me.

    yes, forgot Locke & Key and Spectre. I prefer Locke & Key to be honest but both are good. Sandman on the other hand as horror?hmmm hmmmm....
    Demon by Ennis. dark huomor, quite gruesome sometimes. Fun stuff.

    The Cape by Joe Hill is pretty good, you can get both stories in 1 HC.

    It's on the same level as Hellblazer for me. Dark fantasy with horror elements. Especially the first issues of Sandman have clear horror influences. Apart from that, it's simply essential reading

    you are right, I keep forgetting how many horror elements it have in the first 2 volumes. I mean, serial killer convention! Silly me.

    Thanks guys. I read the first vol of locke and key and loved it. Was gonna get the master edition and forgot about it, thanks for the reminder! Also see vol 2 is comming as well, cant wait. Btw is the master editions oversized? Are there any other oversized editions of it?

    I'm highly interested in Rachel Rising. Any more info on a omnibus comming out or not? I saw a interview here on CBR when he said no about an omnibus and wouldnt think about it until the series is finished. So is it finished or still ongoing?

    I would love a dc or marvel anthology horror series with rotating characters!

    yes the master edition is oversized, nice book can't wait for v2 to finally come out.
    there is a limited ed slipcase version but it's not finished, no one knows if it ever will be and quite pricey as well.

    Not sure about Rachel rising, someone mentioned it in one of the threads but can't remember where and who.

    Terry Moore announced that Rachel Rising will be ending with issue 42. Being at issue 40, there are just two left to go.

    This saddens me; since I have really enjoyed this series. I highly recommend it.
