Read Online: Horror
Casse-tête (2009)
I’m really enjoying the Locke & Key series. “Head Games” is the second volume in the series which introduce us to another key, the Head Key, which literally unlocks a person mind. I mean the key removes the top part of someone’s head and inside you are able to see their memories and emotions. Whi...
Psychospiele (2009)
Holy fucking shit. Okay, let me compose myself.*deep breaths*I wasn't too stoked on the 'Welcome To Lovecraft' volume, not sure why. Just didn't feel it too much. THIS VOLUME WAS INCREDIBLE. It was dark, and weird, and twisted, and horrifying. Just great.A couple of comments on the art; I think i...
Juegos Mentales (2009)
Loved this one, and I thought the drawings were spectacular, especially when he's showing characters as teenagers and then in their 40s, he was able to illustrate them to add the look of aging while still making it clear that they're the same person. The two-page spreads when the characters would...
Locke & Key, Vol. 2: Head Games (2009)
How does one store memories? How does one perceive reality? Joe Hill expands on this idea that he teased with in the first volume and takes it up a notch. A key to open head and stuff books in it, extract information - fear, memories and stuff them in a glass jar. It's such a unique idea! Its eve...
Tenth Grade Bleeds #3: The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod (2009)
This was better than I thought it would be. It actually touched on the darker elements of being a vampire--well, a half-vampire, anyways. But it still felt like the first couple chapters were about his vampire life, the majority of the middle was about him and his normal high-school problems, and...
Paciente cero (2010)
I don't really want to waste a lot of time reviewing a book I didn't like. I zoomed through the audiobook version at 3x speed once I realized its "quality". It read like an '80s action b-movie that lacked any sense of self-mocking kitsch. There was even a secret base over a volcano... sigh... As ...
The Night Eternal (2011)
The first two books in the trilogy were fun and kept me wanting to read, but "The Night Eternal" was wild! Interesting history of the vampires, the Master being the original, his origin absolutely unreal. Although the future of the world would have been much bleaker because of the nuclear winter,...
Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice (2009)
Chew, Volume 1 gives you a taste of exciting proportions. Here's a comic that serves up a diversity of flavors. Layman takes criminal solving in a new direction with the main protagonist's special talent for solving cases and catching the bad guys. Matching an equally unique story Guillory's pres...
Tony Chu, Detective Canibal - Volume Um: Ao Gosto do Freguês (2014)
It's interesting to see magical realism put through the comic filter. It's not quite Like Water for Chocolate... For comics though, superpowers granted through food is a new angle (to my knowledge) and the plot is pleasingly absurd in case anyone doesn't want to engage with the satirical elements...
Tony Chu détective cannibale Tome 1 Goût décès (2010)
Don't read if you don't possess a semi-strong stomach. Seriously. Tony Chu can't see the past of whatever food he eats, including human flesh. The story follows him as he gets an opportunity to put his special ability to use for the F.D.A (the American governmental agency which regulates food and...
Joker (2008)
I admit that I fail to see the allure of the Joker as Batman's arch-rival. I know many folk who really love this book (& that is why I put it on my Batman list), but I just don't get it. It wasn't a chore or challenge to read, but ultimately it wasn't interesting. I will say that Batman's 1 li...
Sandman Slim (2002)
Sandman Slim is a man with a criminal past who was sent to Hell while still alive. After 11 years he returns, seeking vengeance for what was done to him and the killing of his girlfriend Alice. He finds himself caught up in a literal struggle for control of Heaven and Hell.Didn't really like an...
Living Dead Girl (2008)
In this book a girl named Kyla is kidnapped and abused buy a man named Ray. Ray gives Kyla a different name, Alice. Before he had kidnapped Kyla he had a different "Alice". Supposedly no one knows what happened to her. Then he found Kyla to replace her. Ray tells "Alice" all the time that, if she...
Muerta en vida (2010)
I only give this three stars for the simple fact it's basically about a girl being sexualy, mentally and physically abused. the plot seems great but I'm drawing a line when he starts wanting to abduct a small child for his sexual pleasure. I had to take a break from reading it because it was so ...
Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Volume 1: Prodigal Son (2008)
Dean Koontz wrote a great introduction about why he chose to redo the story of Frankstein. This is my first comic book so I'm sorry if my review is on the short side. My boyfriend got Prodigal Son for me from the library, because he knows I'm a Dean Koontz fan. I quickly got into the story and w...
