Night People

This collection of stories takes us on a journey through the lives of four different people that show us there is no need for the supernatural or mythical to explore the real depths of horror as that’s there in the world all along.

This collection has a real Grindhouse feel to the art and storytelling, very cinematic, each story is set in the depths of the US South and revolves around how four people take action to resolve their own inner demons.

Bloody and visceral at times there is also a depth of story in each short piece that really takes us on a journey to the inevitable bloody conclusion.

Serial killers, feuding siblings, bloody vengeance, fugitives, drug lords, take us on a road trip into the seedier side of the US, all of these are supported by powerful, energetic, and brutal art that really adds to the atmosphere building which is so important in such short pieces.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
