Sensational Japanese creator Acky Bright brings his unique, horrific vision to a terrifying tale about how far one woman would go for beauty…

Elsewhere in the Creepshow franchise, Creepshow: The Suspense-Building Game recently became available on the Skybound e-commerce store. The wicked story-building tabletop game makes players become Creeps and weave twisted tales where dastardly deviants meet well-earned demises. You’ll need strategy and cunning for this game, and to know when to push your luck because deception could be waiting at every turn. Creeps create chains of story cards and secretly fill them with Suspense. At key moments in the story, when tension is highest, Creeps can bet on the amount of Suspense to score big. But beware of other Creeps sabotaging the story, you just may lose your head!
