Of course the art is amazing!! Ever pane is wonderfully done. The settings are so interesting and add to each story. 

The individual stories are so unique and interesting. It loses a star because some of the stories feel incomplete, like we’re missing pages. It’s just a tease of what could be! But gosh do I want more!!

I've been a fan of Adam Ellis for ages and this book was just a delight to read. It touched the same nerves that got jangled by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark but with a modern voice. Ghost stories for the modern haunted.
