    Short and sweet. Well, sweet may not be the best word.

Once again I find myself in a Zahler created universe. This time the format is a comic book If that is the corrcect label. If you like Zahler’s other works I think you will enjoy this one also. I was worried because I found the cover rather odd but the story is classic Zahler. Having said that he always brings something new to the table, so you will be surprised. I had a really good time with it but I wanted a few pages more. Hopefully the next one will be a little longer.

    A successful filmmaker and novelist creates a comic book that is proud to be a comic book.
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in Canada on 13 March 2022*

It's interesting to see a successful filmmaker try his hand at comics considering how often would-be filmmakers (usually ones who don't particularly care for the medium) use them as an affordable alternative to cinema. In many cases (e.g., Jhonen Vasquez and Rob Schrab), these creators abandon comics when the opportunity to work in film and/or television arrives. It's clear in their work that such creators would rather be making movies given the creative choices they make. (Suggesting music that one should put on as the soundtrack is a common trope).It's just as apparent in this work that Zahler is eager to work in comics purely out of a love of the medium. This is no illustrated novel or storyboard for an unmade film; Zahler delivers a strong work strictly for the comics medium. While on a technical level, his drawings are crude, the storytelling is clear and I appreciate the use of layouts conceived with the medium in mind. As a seasoned novelist, one might expect Zahler to overdo caption boxes, while most filmmakers working in comics would do away with them entirely. Neither temptation is indulged. Instead, Zahler's understanding of the medium is on full display with an excellent balance of text and images. Both work in harmony to tell the story with neither attempting to upstage the other.In terms of the purely narrative aspects of the piece, the storyline itself shows a strong comic influence. Everything from the title to the ending feeling like it came out of a pre-code horror comic. One could easily picture the final page as the shocking splash panel introduction to an issue of Witch's Tales or This Magazine Is Haunted. The flashbacks (which form the meat of the horror portions of the novel) tell a short story that would also be right at home in the aforementioned periodicals.Zahler's background as a crime author informs the piece to excellent effect. The story mainly taking place from the point-of-view of a police officer and his crooked brother. The two characters make the work feel like the cops from Dragged Across Concrete are investigating the aftermath of a story from an issue of Tales from the Crypt. This gives it a neat alternative perspective that, while fitting in with pre-code terror titles, makes this more than a simple imitation. This is a strength of Zahler's in general; he works within genre, but rarely is he derivative of that genre.
