A celebrated send-up of gothic literature, beautifully adapted into a dark, brooding, and oddly comical graphic novel. Somewhere in the night, a raven caws, an author's pen scratches, and thunder claps. The author wants to write fiction: stories about frail women in white nightgowns, mysterious bumps in the night, and the undead rising to collect old debts. But he keeps getting interrupted by the everyday annoyances of talking ravens, duels to the death, and his sinister butler. Shane Oakley beautifully illustrates New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman's satirical tale.

A lot of fun, even though the graphic style is hard for me to “read.”
Despite having a title that sounds like the first name of character in Night Vale who is running for local office, this comic is pretty funny. That's all it is. Yes, the illustrations are cool and Gaiman's name is on it, but it is a knee-slapper of a joke in comic book form.
Waka waka, glad I didn't pay cover price for this.
