Sail and her family move to a small town in New Hampshire, hoping to escape a traumatic encounter she had in the woods. Unfortunately, the woods of their new home appear to be haunted by the same dark uncanny force. Snyder writes a truly creepy story, but it's Jock's art that makes this comic so memorable. Do not read it before bedtime. Fans of "The Blair Witch Project" have barely scraped the surface of why witches are scary until they read this graphic novel.Sail and her family move to a small town in New Hampshire, hoping to escape a traumatic encounter she had in the woods.

The story unfolds in a series of letters. Charlie is a shy high school freshman who talks about his struggles at school and with family through letters he addresses to "Dear friend." Still reeling from his friend's suicide the year before, he drifts through life until he lands with a group of much-older friends who help him find out who he is and who he wants to be. What I love about this story is how relatable it is to anyone who has ever felt like they didn't fit in, or were picked on, or has felt overwhelmed by pain. The movie adaptation is great, too.The story unfolds in a series of letters.

In a fantasy world that resembles the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, the young thief Gen is pulled from a dungeon and ordered by a king to steal a jewel of great value from a rival kingdom or face certain death. If you have a fondness for tricksters, exciting adventure, and very clever writing, you will love this book. Gen is one of my all-time favorite characters and I take a great deal of pleasure re-reading this book to spot the clues that lead to the surprise ending. It's the first of 3 books set in the same world, and they're all excellent.In a fantasy world that resembles the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, the young thief Gen is pulled from a dungeon and ordered by a king to steal a jewel of great value from a rival kingdom or face certain death.

Fans of Neil Gaiman's Sandman and Garth Ennis' Preacher comics will find this dark Western appealing as it reveals the origin story of Death's daughter Ginny, a spirit of vengeance on the trail of an old man who wronged her mother. I half-expected to hear Ennio Morricone music when I opened its pages. Morricone scored the Clint Eastwood Westerns featuring the Man With No Name. Gorgeous, disturbing art creates an unsettled feeling as you track the characters through a world of magic and mysticism.Fans of Neil Gaiman's Sandman and Garth Ennis' Preacher comics will find this dark Western appealing as it reveals the origin story of Death's daughter Ginny, a spirit of vengeance on the trail of an old man who wronged her mother.

I only got 3 chapters in before I gave up. Each chapter repeated text from the previous where Palahuniuk's main character kept asserting she was a 13-year-old dead girl in hell. Between the repetition, and the fact that Palahniuk can't write a believable 13-year-old girl, especially in the first person, I lost interest. I am a fan of clever snark, and he has mastered that verbal trick in some of his other work. Just not this one.I only got 3 chapters in before I gave up.

This series has a very noir vibe to it. The mysterious Mr. Graves approaches people who have been deeply wronged and hands them an untraceable gun with 100 bullets and an opportunity to seek justice in whatever way they see fit. The first story arc in this volume takes us deep into gang warfare as ex-con Dizzy Cordova slowly discovers the murder of her husband and baby boy wasn't what she thought it was. The second story arc follows Lee Dolan, his life destroyed by false child porn charges, as he confronts the woman responsible, Megan Dietrich, with unexpected results. The third story arc ends with Mr. Graves meeting a police detective...This series has a very noir vibe to it.

Spinning off the Lucifer of Gaiman's Sandman series, we first meet the ex-Lord of Hell in his club Lux, accepting a temporary job offer from God. Carey does a brilliant job weaving multiple mythologies, ancient history, and the complexity and moral shakiness of humanity together into a series of stories where Lucifer can be as "arrogant, funny, manipulative, cold, brilliant, and powerful" as Gaiman first wrote him. Carey’s Lucifer acts as a catalyst in a volatile, sometimes horrific world. I look forward to reading more.Spinning off the Lucifer of Gaiman's Sandman series, we first meet the ex-Lord of Hell in his club Lux, accepting a temporary job offer from God.

A timely exploration about why people should think about their end-of-life wishes before they ever ecome critically ill, and how palliarive care specialists can support families as they make tough decisions together. Death used to be much closer to our day-to-day living and accepted as a natural if unwelcome part of the circle of life. Now it happens over prolonged periods of time, behind closed doors, distanced from family. The book really made me think about how far i am willing to go to seek treatment for a life-threatening illness and how quality of life, not quantity, is a factor.A timely exploration about why people should think about their end-of-life wishes before they ever ecome critically ill, and how palliarive care specialists can support families as they make tough decisions together.
