Reviews

[Kit · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite Vertigo titles that, though short, brings the strange with a mix of weird horror, ancient artifacts, and family ties in a way that haunts and leaves me in a fuzzy state of fantasy for some time after.
Sinister, mysterious, and lovely as a hidden gem of the time.
