Reseñas de la Crítica

"Most of the stories display the unself-conscious dash that made Hill's novel an intelligent pleasure....Not just for ghost addicts." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Excellent!

This dark tale is not what it seems and I enjoyed it greatly.

David LeDoux is an incredible narrator.

The Cape

My first Joe Hill graphic novel. I read this before The Cape 1969 graphic novel so a little out of sequence but it didn't matter. Each stands alone as a single story so it works out of order. Love Joe's GN work!
