MEDIA REVIEWS
"One of the year's essential horrorstories."-ScreenRant"Sorrentino's hyperrealistic,heavilyphoto-referenced art creates an eerie sense of heightened reality in which thecrashing waves,looming lighthouse,and craggy faces of locals are as menacingas John's blood-drenched hallucinations. The page layouts disorient effectively,with panels forming concentric circles,or toppling vertiginously down the page,with the icy landscape perpetually hovering at the close of a fog-shroudedday."-Publishers Weekly"Sorrentino exhibits a mastery of illustrativetechnique,conveying creeping dread through oddly angular or looping layouts ofoverlapping panels,depicting unexpected details in the first half of thisvolume and later expressing cosmic terror with starkly realistic double-pagedepictions of inexplicable landscapes."-Library Journal
