Love Adam’s horror comics. If you follow his social media/Patreon most of these won’t be new to you, but they look beautiful in the full page spreads and he has added a small blurb about his inspiration for each one which I really enjoyed.

TL;DR: If you’re a fan or new to Adam Ellis’s work, these short horror comics are fun and unsettling. I really enjoyed these. 

Longtime fans of Adam Ellis will probably need no pitch on this one but for new fans I really truly recommend this. The stories are short, bite-sized horror with inspiration in classic and modern horror. 
This collection had two big strengths for me. The first was that each story had an author’s note telling about the inspiration and the root idea. I loved this as it added depth to the story and a perspective I might not have seen. 

The second is that Adam Elli’s use of space and composition is fantastic. I love his panel layouts and designs and the angles of so many of his shots. This is a development I’ve seen over the years of following his work and this graphic novel really illustrated how he’s grown as an artist. 

I loved this collection and can’t wait to have my own copy for the shelves to reread, as I’ll definitely do so in the future. 
4.5 out of 5 Creepy Milk Doors

THIS WAS TERRIFYING. But so so good. I've followed the artist on Instagram for a while and didn't actually realize this was his book at first, but loved the cover and thought the art looked like his. (I got an ARC on NetGalley.)

Every story is so creepy and unsettling. The last one especially had my heart pounding. I almost threw my phone across my bed cause it freaked me out so much! Perfect for horror fans or if you're in the mood to get unsettled and creeped out by normal, every day things with a twist.
