INSIDE OUT is an over-the-top tribute to the goopy, grimy and gross horror of the 1980s. After a mysterious infection spreads through the world, people and animals start melting into horrific monsters. This wild debut novella follows everyday people dealing with the new chaotic reality, from school children to scummy landlords to mad scientists. Featuring illustrations from horror artists such as Enuch Duncan, Matt Pierce, and SJ Miller, with cover art by Eduardo Valdés-Hevia. Barf bag not included.

told in multiple interlocking short stories Inside Out paints a portrait of how humanity might react to a virus that causes the infected to mutate into monstruous forms. It comes across as bleakly plausible but I would have liked more from the body horror aspect of it (don't get me wrong there is quite a bit of body horror I just find Gislason could have leaned into it a little more to make it more effective). Overall it was still a very enjoyable read.
