A shiny new terrifying short stories graphic novel by Adam Ellis! Sleep is overrated!

I just ADORE ADORE Adam Ellis his work and I always love reading them on BlueSky (and before that on Twitter when I still used that). Last year his first collection book came out: Bad Dreams in the Night which combined stuff from online with some newer stories. Read my review for that one here.

In this book we get 10 new stories! Stories that range from spooky hauntings and messages to a train that may or may not go to hell and what to do when you have the chance to help someone to strange kids on an island to the moon maybe not being what you think it is. Each story is superb written and you just  cannot stop reading, even when it gets more and more terrifying or more and more disturbing (and you know at a point you will have nightmares). I love the variety of stories and each time it is like a gift, what kind of creepy shit will we get this time? What will happen now? What kind of horrors will be unleashed upon the main character(s) of this story? My two favourites would be Applehead (about a town where you cannot buy fresh fruit or ELSE and Don’t Look (about a mirror and a clown, especially the clown was a big fat NOPE).

The only thing I missed and that I loved in the previous horror collection? The little comments/notes by Adam on how he came to the idea of the story/what inspired him. I would have loved to see those in this one as well.

The art? Fabulous as always. I love Adam’s style be it for horror or for more comedy/satire stuff. He really has a knack of drawing terrifying things. Even things that look innocent look creepy.

Oh, and I would recommend getting the hardcover, I am not sure if the paperback has it, but the hardcover has that window you see on the cover cut out and if you open the book you see what is attached to that eyeball you see looking in.

All in all, thank you for the nightmares Adam Ellis, I appreciate it, haha. I would highly recommend this book to everyone! And as for me (and my hubby)? We are hoping for many many more spooky and terrifying books!
