Review Quotes : \"Quite possibly the best horror comic of the last 20 years.\" -- \" The Comics Journal \" Review Quotes : \"A twisted horror comedy series where darkness lurks beneath the squeaky-clean exterior of an idyllic small town.\" -- \" IGN \" Review Quotes : \"This year's most unique and twisted horror reading experience... Retro cuteness and bloody gore make for a disturbingly nostalgic twinge... An oversized helping of deliciously discomforting horror.\"-- \" House of Nerd \" Review Quotes : \"Superb... a compelling read from start to finish.\" -- \" Comics Beat \" Review Quotes : \"A single, rewardingly complicated narrative [...] It's the sort of thing you can enjoy once, and then resolve not to read again because it was too disturbing and then immediately pick back up.\"-- \" The New York Times \" Review Quotes : \"Readers who enjoyed Afterlife with Archie by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa or Octopus Girl by Toru Yamazaki will enjoy untangling the plots of these six cutesy yet highly disturbing stories.\"-- \" Library Journal \" Review Quotes : \"Recommend this book to fans of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac , where along with gory content comes a healthy dose of dark humor.\" -- \" Booklist \" Review Quotes : \"Glorious and gorgeous old-school cartooning with a sinister underbelly.

Each story combines the aesthetics of classic all-ages comics with horror tropes to create a unique, unforgettable reading experience.\"-- \" CBR \" Review Quotes : \"A gags and gore combo that looks like Charlie Brown turned into a psychopath.\"-- \" Publishers Weekly, Top 10 Adult Comics for Spring \" Publisher Marketing : A 2023 National Cartoonists Society Reuben Awards Comics Finalist A 2024 ALA Best Graphic Novel for Adults \"The kind of nightmare horror fans won't want to wake up from.\" -- Publishers Weekly, starred review \"Genuinely disturbing...if you feel brave, check it out.\" -- The Toronto Star \"An absolute delight. Probably the most fun I've had while flinching squeamishly on the edge of my seat...\" -- BOING BOING Welcome to Elwich--an oasis of small-town perfection, where the schools overflow with cheery-eyed children, lovingly adorned homes line the historic boulevards . . . and only the crows can see the deep, festering rot that lurks beneath the pristine surface. Murder. Demonology. Possession. Obsession. Elwich has them all on offer--and behind every dwelling awaits a horrifying new story to be told. Shock, terror, and wry humor pepper every page of Emmy Award-winning, Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist and animator Jay Stephens's Dwellings .
