One of the most bland and forgettable protagonists that I've witnessed. And the story itself is like a really cheap copy of Outcast by Kirkman, without any substance and grip to it.

This was an easy reading, if uninspiring, horror comic. The characters weren't very well developed, and the plot was simple, but it kept me entertained for an hour while I read it.

I wasn't a huge fan of the art, but there was some nice use of colour throughout.

Meh.
Spooky story that doesn’t make much sense, but it’s worth the 15 mins it takes to read it. The art is very Ben Templesmith esque, I read in a poorly lit room and without turning it DIRECTLY towards the lamp I couldn’t see half of what was going on. So, I guess make sure to read this ghost story in a well lit room?

I enjoyed some of the art and the atmosphere, but found the characters to be flat. The plot was not very complex, but as far as a quick spooky story goes, it did hit the spot just enough for a chilly morning read. Cullen Bunn has a lot of good stories in his bibliography, this is not my favorite but I'm glad to have enjoyed Mark Torres' use of shadows and watercolor-esque backgrounds.

And that was when I stopped reading horror graphic novels blind!! Flashy but completely dysfunctional art, less-than-worthless writing, barely enough story for a ten minute episode of TV and you've seen it all before. Ban grown men from writing protagonists that they think are cool, have some self respect.

Bad story, bad art, stupid and boring. In some cases that might make it so bad it’s good, but this is just bad.

Read “ Rachel Rising” by Terry Moore just before which was really good, which just reinforced how weak an effort this was. Give it up guys and find a different vocation.

I’m torn because I really enjoyed the story here. I just wasn’t a fan of the art. Considering that’s half the fun (or more) in a comic or graphic novel...
