Artist Edd Lai is on a mission to bring some light into our lives and he's creating dark comics to do so. Mixing the real with the surreal, the 29-year-old from Taiwan is creating horror stories that are quite short yet totally immersive. And it's not just the Internet who's in love with Edd's dark drawings.
"I have always enjoyed reading," Edd told Bored Panda. "And I like all kinds of books, including graphic novels. But it wasn’t until I was 19 that I started writing creepy stories. I was lucky to have my novels published by several publishers that were searching for young writers. Since then, I’ve made writing my living, constantly pursuing this profession. I was also commissioned to write several screenplays for movies."

"[Currently], I'm working on my new experimental series, titled Edd Lai's Stories."

"[Through my comics], I try to explore the different facades of humanity, highlighting our perception of the world." Both the good and evil. The hero and the villain. "We tend to label everything we know, but there's often a difference between the way a thing looks, and the way it is underneath its appearance."
...and I cannot imagine a better revenge than a huge medical bill :)

Edd thinks it's the tone of his stories that make them stand out from the rest. "My stories might appear to be dark, but they can be delightful or even cute. The pieces I've written for Edd Lai's Stories are short, [but they have] a sudden twist at the end, which makes them super dramatic." The artist said he wants the readers to participate in his stories, filling in the gaps. "I love when my readers ask me a lot of questions about my stories. Also, since the stories are so sharp, they're good candidates for movie and other kinds of adaptations."
And even though the artist admitted he has a dark place in his heart, he doesn't let it control his personal life. "The most important thing is that we can always choose to light up the night."

"The girl heard her glasses fall to the floor, having accidentally knocked them from the table, and panic set in. Of all the horrors they had allowed her so see, the ones hiding out of her line of sight scared her the most."

they won't be able to understand his feeling, because they will all die, but their family will, without ever making a connection to the driver's trauma, so what is the point? :)
Me. Didn't need to. But as I'm seeing this on my phone, I'd slightly turn the device in a way the screen doesn't go horizontal mode.

Alol I'm sucker for following horror rules xD I did turn my head to read it xD
I am a weird reader i could read this without turning my head. Also I can read backwards.
American parents. Too protective. Kids are not allowed to go to school alone, playgrounds are boring, because they are too safe....there is a ton more.
I feel the same about cats in the US... they are curious animals who want to explore, yet US Americans insist that they are indoor pets only, one stated reason being that it would be too dangerous. I'd rather have my cat happy and mentally healthy than confined... Btw I heard that that one study did a bad job at differentiating between strays, strict outdoor cats (barn cats), indoor/outdoor cats and strict indoor cats when assessing life expectancy. Of course outdoor cats are much more likely to die young if you include the first two with the third category...
