THE SMALL KEY CANNOT HELP YOU NOW
Some people post “beware of the dog” warnings on their property, but this is basically a “beware of owner” sign. Because once your visitor has the Boss Key in hand and opens the door, what happens next? There’s a throwdown. That’s how this works. You know, it’s probably easier if you just tell visitors to knock.
Get ready to wield the Boss Key to get into your place after a long day of adventuring when you’re greeted with this Zelda-themed doormat. Fortunately, since YOU’RE the boss behind the door, your arrival is more likely to culminate in feet up on the coffee table than a final battle. And you won’t have to worry about solving any puzzles, except maybe the “Where did I put my key this time” one. We hate that one.
Kitchen Nightmares!
On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge.
Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food.
First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly.
Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope
