And you thought your neighbors were creeps…
And you thought your apartment building was a nightmare… Well, check this out. This was part of my October special get at the library. Whatever looked dark and spooky enough. Ba of Umbrella Academy fame and his brother are some of the international team behind this graphic novel. Artistically its quite striking, with its black and white panels, all nightmares and shadows. Plot wise, it left a lot to be desired. The storytelling was choppy, disjointed, vague until it congealed into a coherent plot of an apartment building being taken over by the dark and things that lurk within it and what it does to the lives of five neighbors. The characters weren’t particularly likable; the darkness wasn’t particularly explained. The atmosphere was just right, though, thematically it Is appealingly horrific. So there’s that. Plus, it’s short and reads quickly.
