The Black Forest is one of the most compelling horror-themed “what if” stories we ever read. It's set during the trench warfare days of World War I, and it ponders what would have happened if the Germans had unleashed the Frankenstein Monster, werewolves and what have you on the unsuspecting Allies. Writers Todd Livingston and Robert Tinnell (both Hollywood writer/directors) and artist Neil Vokes (Parliament of Justice) take horror fans for a great ride on this one. And here's something else: this isn't the only book this incredible trio has on our top ten list.
