The Mystery Plays
by Roberto Aguirre-sacasa

"…stylish, spine-tingling…Mr. Aguirre-Sacasa uses standard tricks of horror stories, borrowing liberally from masters like Kafka, Lovecraft, Hitchcock…But his mastery of the genre is his own…irresistible.” —The New York Times.   ”Undaunted by the special-effects limitations of theatre, playwright and Marvel comic-book writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa maps out some creepy twilight zones in THE MYSTERY PLAYS, an engaging, related pair of one acts…The theatre may rarely deliver shocks equivalent to, say, Dawn of the Dead, but Aguirre-Sacasa's work is fine compensation.“ —Time Out New York.   ”…there is much to admire in this meeting of Lovecraft's tales from the dark side and Truman Capote's In Cold Blood.“ —Hartford Courant.   ”…the first of the two stories, THE FILMMAKER'S MYSTERY, is…a dandy narrative, full of offbeat characters, I-see-dead-people creepiness and a twist or two."
