Reviews

"Browns panelsbordered in black, drawn in pencil, and digitally composed and coloredcleverly combine the mood of film noir with the low-tech look of early childrens television staging for an aesthetic that is atmospheric, but not overwhelming.... Panels in varying sizes and multiple perspectives keep pace with Reynoldss tongue-in-cheek narrative.... This age-appropriate horror story takes childrens fears seriously and then offers them an escape through genuine comic relief."--School Library Journal
* "Serve this superbly designed title to all who relish slightly scary stories."--Kirkus Reviews in a STARRED review
* "A spot-on parody of a paranoid thriller...."--Publishers Weekly in a starred review
