Literary Puns, Halloween-Style

By

If you like Timothy Leo Taranto’s literary puns here on the Rumpus, you’ll also enjoy these Halloween-themed literary puns over at Vol. 1 Brooklyn.

Written and illustrated by Rumpus contributor Lincoln Michel, they turn your favorite authors into scary monsters, including Louise Eldritch and Sheila Yeti (author, it goes without saying, of How Should A Cryptid Be?).

You can also check out Michel’s Monsters of Modern Literature from last October for such terrifying creatures as Haruki Murderkami and Bone Didion.
