Eric Haven crafts a uniquely strange horror experience, blending elements into a genre all his own, as noted by PopMatters. Booklist praises Haven as a top-tier comics parodist. Under the Radar highlights his art, reminiscent of '70s underground comix and '90s alt-comics, and celebrates the eclectic mix of humour, horror, and wonder packed into this work.

    A solitary figure has telepathic encounters with a demonic aviatrix, a wandering crystalline being, a flaming sword-wielding warrior, and a mysterious sorceress, all within the confines of his own apartment. Haven's work is dark, absurdist, and deadpan, reflecting the apocalyptic undercurrent of modern times. His inky, rubbery drawings buttress his black humour.
