The Battle of the Bulge, WWII, a group of American soldiers becomes trapped inside an abandoned mansion while they seek shelter from a blizzard. During the Battle of the Bulge, a squadron of US soldiers is caught in a blizzard while patrolling through the woods. Seeking refuge from the impending white out, they stumble across an abandoned manor, seeking shelter and safety. Once inside, however, the doors disappear, rooms begin to morph, exits become entrances, and they quickly realize there is no safety to be found! As their eyes deceive them, their minds descend into madness, panic, and paranoia. Is this real? Or is there more to this labyrinth than what resides within the walls? Secrets are revealed, history is retold, and death is the only mercy. The acclaimed, psychological tale of supernatural evil amid the horrors of war from Drew Zucker (Canto, Skybreaker) and Phillip Sevy (Tomb Raider, Triage). Now with a new cover and added bonus material!

The House didn't blow me away, but I don't not recommend it, either.If you enjoyed stories where the haunted house is the villain, and if you like anything that feels vaguely reminiscent of the Amityville house stories, this one might be up your alley. It takes place during WWII and follows a group of soldiers who seek shelter in an old, abandoned house, only to find that it's bigger on the inside (but not nearly as lovable as the TARDIS) and full of illusions, violence, and death.While I enjoyed the premise and some elements of the overall storyline, I struggled with the art (many characters look same-y to the point of making it difficult to keep track of who's who) and the lack of depth in general. The story felt like it needed more fleshing-out, but with a bit more work and depth, I actually think The House would have worked quite well as a longer graphic novel or even a standard novella or novel.✨ Content warnings for: violence, death, depictions of Nazi soldiersThank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this review copy in exchange for an honest review!———twitter booktok bookstagram blog
