I probably would have appreciated this more if I was more familiar with the pacific northwest, but the art was phenomenal regardless.

This is a wonderfully diverse, beautifully illustrated collection of Twilight-Zone-esque stories which captures something essential about the Canadian west coast. I particularly enjoyed Smoke and Cedar, The Cove, The Patron, and Site 17. My only real criticism is that some of the stories felt a little too short for me to fully get into.

Favorite stories:
-The Harvest
-Free Ride
-The White Raven
-The Cove
-Home
I backed this anthology on Kickstarter many moons ago, and it arrived in my mailbox earlier this month. I was so excited to read these stories, and I'm so happy to report that this is a great collection of short horror comics. Some of the stories are creepy, some seem to have an underlying message, several make you feel really uncomfortable, and a few leave you scratching your head, but all of them are fantastic.
Each comic is written and illustrated by different people, and no two stories are remotely alike. I think, though, that my favorite aspect of the anthology was the diversity of characters. There was LGBTQ+ representation, characters of color, interracial couples, and a variety of ages represented.
I definitely recommend this anthology to anyone and everyone!

A lovely collection by many talented creators.
My personal favorites were the underwater nightmare of "Low Viz" by Kris Sayer and the magically monstrous "don't go to the island" by Sfe R. Monster.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A throughly enjoyably creepy comic anthology of short horror stories, all set in the Pacific Northwest and by local artists and authors. From a Kickstarter project.

This is a beautiful anthology of stories from Canada's West Coast. Most are creepy in a lovely sort of way, though a couple are genuine spine-tinglers. I liked the different styles of art, and each story is short enough that if there's one that doesn't strike you as deeply, you quickly move on to the next.
It was really neat to see stories that are centred in Canada, not pretending to be from somewhere else!

This graphic novel is an anthology of horror stories set in British Columbia, each by different authors and artists.
I'm not from BC but I do live in the Pacific Northwest, and I think most of the stories managed to capture that dark, mysterious and sometimes spooky feeling one gets out here. Every story had a pretty Twilight Zone feel to it - very brief spooky stories with twisted, bitter endings. Some of the stories didn't really click with me - hence the 4 stars - but the majority I really enjoyed.
