Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free copy of this book.

This was a great read. I really, really, really loved the art style: it's so adorable and vintage, reminiscing of those comic strips I used to read in the newspaper as a kid.

There are six short stories in this book and they're all full of horror, gore, violence and insanity. I liked how most of them were connected some way or another. There were also some one-page stories sprinkled here and there that were really fun to read. I love the author's creativity to come up with these crazy plots.

This is a really great graphic novel that will keep you entertained and disturbed at the same time. It's not my favorite book of all time, and definitely not my favorite genre, hence the three star rating. But I want to emphasize how much of a great job the author did. I really liked this book and its colorful and visually pleasing pages.
