Termites In Your Smile and Other Relationships Gone Wrong

Does the line between insanity and the supernatural matter if it costs you a friend? A lothario faces a grisly vengeance from the mysterious women he’s wronged. A ghost-hunter encounters a ghost bearing a disturbing truth. A tree grows leaves that show a family’s secret history.

These stories, and more, come to disturbing life in the pages of Termites In Your Smile and Other Relationships Gone Wrong, a collection that proves that strange thoughts beget strange deeds.

“Some of today’s best horror comics.”

— The Providence Phoenix

“(Costello and Evergreen) unite for a starkly gruesome final panel that adds a welcome sour note to the sad sweetness of the proceedings ... It takes a lot for a collaboration of this sort to work so effectively.”

— Sean T. Collins
