Story summaries below the cut.

No God But One’s Stomach

Part 1, Religious Horror

A chance encounter with a demonic entity leaves a young Dio Brando with (almost) everything he could have hoped for; power, money, freedom and a ticket into the Joestar family. It also leaves him with a hunger that can not be ignored.

Walking on the Sun

Part 2, New Weird

The world has ended. The earth’s mutated into a nigh uninhabitable landscape and mankind is on the brink of extinction. The cause? The light of Earth’s new sun.

ELEUSOS

Part 3, Psychological Horror

Noriaki Kakyoin’s mother has a troubled pregnancy and soon after, a troubled child. Little Noriaki himself is more or less well behaved but there is a presence around him, something dark and otherworldly, that seems to want to steal him away.

March 17, 1984

Part 4, Thriller

An account of one of the worst crimes in Morioh’s history. March 17, 1984, the Sugimoto family and their family dog are murdered in their home. Their killer is never found.

Stray Cats Play Philidor 

Part 4, Giallo

Shinobu Kawajiri’s life finally seems to be improving. Her once dull and distant husband has suddenly had a much needed attitude change but there’s something that’s still a little off. Maybe it’s all in her head.

I Dreamed You A Sin

Part 5, Psychological Horror

Terrible things have a habit of happening to Scolippi. Some mundane, many not. But the most terrible thing of all awaits him still as ‘Rolling Stones’ begins to change, revealing the truth of what it holds in its stone…

Come As You Are

Part 5, Fabulist

Giorno Giovanna interrogates Diavolo about his history and origins.

Sleepwalker

Part 6, Magical Realism

The days leading up to Wes Bluemarine’s sixteenth birthday are filled with excitement. He meets a girl, bonds with his mother, fills in for the local priest and discovers a few secrets that were best left hidden.

Why Worry

Part 7, Midwestern Gothic

Sheriff Reed Clements is the only thing standing between Paxton Vale and lawlessness. Sheriff Reed Clements knows what’s right and what’s wrong. And though there’s something a little odd with the new church in town, they seem like decent enough folk.

PDO

Part 8, Gothic

Two trash collectors go to empty out the apartment of the deceased Yoshikage Kira. However, their curiosity soon gets the better of them and they end up discovering evidence of some heinous crimes.

Is this year's copy going to be pdf or hardcopy?

Sorry for the late response! I've been having trouble using tumblr after the new update. This year's copy is going to be a PDF as it is set to exceed the page length of last year's dramatically.

do you have a specific art style you lean towards/against when choosing artists? (closer to source material, thick lines and outlandish colors vs. thin lines and muted colors, etc.)

We do not have a specific style we look at when selecting artists. Any art style is fine.
