5.0
This collection of animated one-shot horror stories is beautifully crafted. The premise is the same on each page — the horror of what could be behind you — but the delivery is different each time. These are hauntingly beautiful depictions of the fear we all share. At the same time, the images and accompanying sentence descriptions illuminate the potential for wonder in the unseen world that surrounds us.
Joe Hill’s introduction is also a wonderful discussion of the unknown. It highlights the type of horror the unknown offers while anticipating the beauty of Brian Coldrick’s style of horror and storytelling.
All in all, this is an engaging collection of short, illustrated horror concepts that leaves room for reader interpretation. I look forward to re-interpreting every story with each new visit to this collection.
