On The Plunge by Joe Hill et al
Do you like the Thing? If you do, then you will like this
book. It owes a lot to John Carpenter’s The Thing. We have an isolated, cold
setting, and weird things happening in a way that’s claustrophobic and isolated.
It’s spooky And scary.
On Night Fever by Brubaker and Philips
This is an interesting story about identity and growing up
and trying to be someone you’re not. Or is it trying to be the person you
really are? The main character is on a business trip and assumes a new
identity, and it takes him to places he never know existed. There’s one element
in the story that is somewhat supernatural and I wanted to see it more developed
but it isn’t. So it’s the one weird thing that makes me wonder if the story isn’t
100% self contained to the volume or may be the seed for something more.
Nailbiter is developing (By Willimanson et al)
The general premise of this story is that there is a town
that spawns serial killers. It feels a little goofy, but the first volume of
the series was enough for me to go get the next three volumes in the series and
read them in an afternoon. The titular character is a serial killer that bites
the nails off of his victims.
Volume two deepens the mystery and is a little more cinematic
than the previous volume. It starts to flesh out the story and develops characters
in the town.
Volume three is where we start to see hints at something
that is behind all the serial killers. Is it something supernatural or more
mundane? I don’t know yet.
