I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the CHILLING HOLIDAYS from VAULT Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!
WINTER is the second scariest time of year. And it’s not just because of the terror of last-minute gift buying, frightening crowds, and haunting memories of holiday gatherings past. Specters cast dark shadows in snow, frost covers every inch of your sanctuary, and a variety of monsters from world legend and lore stalk your dreams from the child-eating Icelandic Yule Cat, to Northern Europe’s icy wielder of justice Frau Hölle and her Wild Hunt, to Germany’s devilish anti-Santa, Krampus, the Kallikantzaros evil goblins from Greece, and the Alpine witch Frau Perchta and her Kraumpus-like minions, the Perchten.
VAULT Comics knows this terror, feels your pain, and wants to share the horror…
Enter VAULT’s bone-chilling list of most popular horror, fantasy, and science fiction titles, with the best talent in SFFH comics with a CHILLING HOLIDAY, Holiday Special! This Winter, slay/sleigh those demons of indecision with the best in creator-owned Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror!

Review: Rockstars
Rockstars tells the story of Jackie as he tries to solve some mysteries involving rock n' roll, the occult, and some murders. It is also a story about what a father passes to a son and how convoluted protections can get even with the best intentions. This is an ADULT comic, with language and adult themes, so keep that in mind.
One of the most fun things about this story is noting the different references to classic rock songs and iconography. This is a graphic novel that would definitely be most enjoyed by rock music fans. Casual music fans likely won't find a lot to love here unless they're into occult mysteries. The art is shadowy and blends a contemporary comic style with metal colors and images. It works really well with the story, enhancing the dark mood and themes. The lettering is also really great and each panel flows very effectively to progress the story.
That being said, this isn't the kind of story with an easy beginning, middle, and end. It shows some things from the past after an event in the present and the ending isn't exactly an expected resolution. Nonetheless, this comic is a wild ride and for fans of both rock and darker themed stories, it will be a good time. Vault Comics has released another intriguing and deeply themed story. I give Rockstars a Lone Star rating of ✯✯✯.
I enjoyed it and I appreciate a lot of its elements. It's intriguing, but it isn't a comic I can recommend to just anyone in my life as a must-read. This one I'd recommend to my rock-horror fans who love both and want to get some metal twist in a dark, kinda creepy hidden music industry story. It's not about professionals in the background - it's about what rockstars are willing to give up to elevate their careers.
