A review by allerkins
Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites by Evan Dorkin
4.0
The tales collected in this graphic novel are about a group of talking dogs (and some cats) who solve mysterious happenings in their neighborhood. Really scary, disturbing, paranormal happenings. Some of it was even a little too morbid for me, but all of it was good.
I loved Jill Thompson's artwork for the book. It was fresh and engaging, with an almost cartoony, cheerful style that seems like it would contradict the horror-story subject matter, but actually ended up fitting with it quite well. The animal characters were fun and the stories were spooky enough to keep me reading. I'm glad Michael recommended this to me!
