Reseñas de la Crítica

“This haunting book reveals a mysterious and creepy world that will have readers questioning what is possible while delving into stories that range from the paranormal to the cursed wilderness . . . The natural flow and pacing of each story is a hallmark of MrBallen’s storytelling style. He builds suspense and fear as readers reach the terrifying or unexplained conclusion of each of the book’s stories . . . For anyone fascinated by the supernatural or unexplained events that have never been solved, MrBallen’s first horror graphic novel is a must-read.”—Comic Book Resources

“A collection of strange, dark, and mysterious stories that’ll leave you questioning whether the screams you heard coming from the basement are imagined or actually real.”—The Beat

“Told in a conversational style reminiscent of traditional campfire storytellers (with a caricature of MrBallen appearing throughout), these retellings occur across time and place . . . All the stories are creepy and will leave readers with a chill, as all remain unexplained. Mutti’s illustrations are finely drawn with a raw feel.”—Booklist

“MrBallen’s lurid narration brings to mind old EC horror comics . . . Mutti’s lush art excels at creating eerie atmosphere, shocking the reader with moments of gore, and making the supernatural and mundane menaces feel equally plausible. Most of the tales take place in the great outdoors, and the art successfully evokes shadowy forests, snowbound mountains, blistering deserts, and isolated cabins. This spooky collection of campfire tales will appeal to horror and true crime fans.”—Publishers Weekly

Strange, Dark, and Mysterious

Loved it. From one of the best story tellers of our generation, Mr. Ballen outdoes himself again. I seriously hope he starts making these graphic novels every year. This was definitely intriguing and kept me interested all the way through.

That he has a voice for narrating

It's Mrballen what not to love about the guy, been following this since discovering his video snipbit# on Facebook to YouTube

Horrifyingly Amazing.

Love the Mr. Ballen YT channel and Podcast so the audio book was absolute must have. And listening to it was incredible, I was completely engulfed in the stories. 10 out of 10!

Mr Ballen

Amazing I loved every word. Thank you for making your book available for audible…. Can’t wait for the next one.

Fan since the very first TikTok then YouTube and Discord.

I love Mr. Ballen. I am a little disappointed in this book, though, the storytelling is amazing as always. But the entire book, even the extra story have all been told on his YouTube channel.
The extra unheard story was actually just uploaded yesterday on Sunday, October 13. I just think when you put out a book that you’re charging people for you would add more new stories than ones that have been told multiple times over since 2020. I am subscribed through TikTok,YouTube, FB, IG, and Discord.
I have purchased his merchandise in 2020/2021 (the very first ones that went out)before this last releases with Lungy. I love Frogs!!
I still rated it five stars across-the-board because Mr. Ballen is a fantastic storyteller ! I just hope with his next book he is able to keep some of those stories for the book only!
