Romo the Wolfboy
A tactile reminder of the human hand in an AI age; painstaking attention makes the book appear like an artefact from the late 1800s.
Cromwell Stone
A spellbinding tale of forbidden knowledge, ancient otherworldly entities, strange cults, and alien worlds that lurk unseen on the periphery of our own.
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary Vol. II
While the tales are condensed, key dialogue and memorably nerve-jangling passages are retained. All are hauntingly effective.
Penny Dreadful: The Awakening #1
A huge deviation in tone from the derelict moodiness captured by director J. A. Bayona, despite some wonderful artwork.
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary
Cuts to the core of the horror without ever diluting or compromising M. R. James’ carefully woven plots. Recommended for die-hard enthusiasts.
Prime Cuts: Vol. 2
A sardonic and entertaining chapter in an ambitious and bizarre adaptation, but disappointingly lacks allegorical meat.
Limbo
Ambitious and bizarre, Limbo is a hallucinogenic rollercoaster that takes giddy pride in disintegrating reality and reliability.
Prime Cuts: Vol. 1
Rawly sketched artwork complements the abstract plot line, which will please the exploitation and pulp fiction aficionado.
The Motherless Oven
A cleverly-layered effort packed with satirical humour, with a universe so outlandishly odd it is frighteningly similar to our own.
Blackout
An incredible amount of humour, and the weird-for-the-sake-of-weird mentality is not just ballsy, but also highly entertaining.
All Roads Lead to Hell
Buchan excels at short and twisted love stories, but it’s Simmonds’ graphic artwork that makes the author's prose shine.
La Belle Dame sans Merci
A read with huge amounts of intrigue; there are enough unanswered questions to leave the reader looking forward to part two.
Deadbeats
An incredible amount of humour, some memorable characters, and contextualisation that adds extra depth.
