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 nonfiction: stories about frail women in white nightgowns, mysterious bumps in the night, and the undead rising to collec... t 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 best-selling author Neil Gaiman's satirical tale. "It's about what fantasy is, and why we write it, and what it would mean to write fantasy if you lived in a Gothic universe." - Neil Gaiman  Show more >
