Reading the novel for the first time just prior to reading this graphic novel adaptation may have been an error on my part. This version was lackluster for me for a variety of different reasons. Important plot points were overlooked, there were unnecessary additions that I felt did nothing for the story, and the art, while interestingly surreal, was never quite as horrific as the visions I'd conjured in my own head while reading the original work. Still worth reading but not at all on par with the source.
