El libro tiene cierto aire de "terror clásico", mezclando historias más tradicionales con leyendas urbanas y hasta conceptos más arriesgados. Se siente como un homenaje al género.
Por supuesto que hay historias más interesantes que otras, es el precio de una colección. Pero el resultado final es sólido. Queda en claro que el autor puede moverse por distintos tipos del terror y lograr buenos resultados ya sea con la trama como con el arte.
El libro abre con la que terminó siendo mi historia favorita: "Evangeline" que, si bien no es lo más terrorífico, nos muestra el amor de Ellis por la temática.
Cada historia cierra con un pequeño párrafo sobre la misma, un lindo detalle.
Es una lectura rápida y entretenida, muy recomendable.
Gracias a Netgalley y al editor por proporcionar una copia gratuita del libro a cambio de una reseña honesta.

"Bad Dreams in the Night" is a collection of horror stories in graphic novel format. Each story closes with a small paragraph about it, a nice detail.
The book feels like a "classic horror vibe", it combines more traditional stories with urban legends. Overall, it feels like an homage to the genre.
Of course, since it's a collection, some stories are more interesting than others. But the result is solid. The author knows the genre and can move through it achieving incredible results.
The book opens with what ended up being my favorite story: "Evangeline" which, while not the most terrifying, has a lot of heart and shows Ellis' love for the subject.
Highly recommended.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
