I love even the worst anthology because if the story you're reading is terrible the next could be spectacular or worse. Graphic novel anthologies are double the fun because many times the quality of the story & art are uneven. That is largely the case in this collection. I loved Bolten and Vince Locke's contributions especially. The Raven was also a lovely addition to this enjoyable mess. Definitely recommended to anyone who enjoys the specific quality of early 90's horror art.

A collection of short stories. My favourite of the bunch was a single page short about a meat hungry cat and its owner. I paid 99 cents for this so Im not giving this an angry 1/5 , Im giving it a genuine 1/5 , I could give it 0/5 if I truly hated it. There was some redeeming qualities like it does include Edgar Allen Poe's Raven , it has some educational substance to it.

Pretty interesting, but certainly something I'd get into again. Loved how dark it was!
