Bounty-hunter Matthew Macgregor investigates a series of strange happenings in the dusty Texas town of Blest where drought has brought famine and hardship to most of the town and surrounding ranches.

Unfortunately, that's the least of the town's worries! While the summer heat pushes the mercury toward further unbearable degrees during the day, the nights are haunted by strange unnatural creatures roaming the darkness. Macgregor, a former Pinkerton agent, seeks to uncover the town's dark secrets and tries desperately to keep his own past steeped in witchcraft and the supernatural hidden. At sundown... they'll be a showdown at High Moon.

Review

So I'm a western lover and also one for monster fights so put them together and I'm sure in for a fun night of reading. This graphic novel wasn't one of my favourite reads but to be fair it wasn't that bad.

I enjoyed the art which did a great job at setting the time period and keeping to the western cowboy feel in the story, even if it does steer away from original cowboy stories and throw in the supernatural fighting.

I felt the story could have been reigned in a little as I was at some points not sure what was going on and that with the lead character shifting halfway (which was a strong move which was worth going for) it led to some instability in reading.

Overall it was a pretty good read, as long as you don't mind pushing through some confusion.

Graphic Novel Review Hotel Transylvania Vol. 1: “Kakieland Katastrophe" by Stefan Petrucha

Hotel Transylvania Vol. 1: “Kakieland Katastrophe" by Stefan Petrucha Buy it here Publisher: Papercutz ISBN: 9781629918099 Number of pages: 64 released: 09/01/2018 Everyone's favourite monster family is back with a new graphic novel featuring all the great characters from the movies. Theme park boss Stephen Cling is out to undo all the good work Dracs has done and make the public think monsters are scary again by putting some misleading pictures on the internet. Unfortunately Dracs just isn't so good at showing that not everything you read online is true. This first volume of the Hotel Transylvania graphic novels is a great start to a new story line which looks like it may be aimed more at the kids but the adults will love it too. Stefan Petrucha has done a great job of bringing modern day problems such as not believing everything you see on the internet as truth into this story and manages to have it read as if it was right out of th

Book review - Sal by Mick Kitson

The horrible acts started when Sal was ten years old and now her sister Peppa is coming up for ten. Sal knows what will happen to her sister if she does not act soon, and unfortunately for Robert she has had time to prepare. Sal is a wonderful story between the bond of two sisters as Sal and Peppa strive to survive in the woods of Scotland living off the land with help from information Sal saw online and on YouTube. I loved this story and was always excited to read what would happen next to the sisters and how they would survive. There are turns in the story which I did not

Book Review - The Little Red Wolf by Amelie Flechais

The Little Red Wolf By Amelie Flechais Buy it here Publisher: Lion Forge, LLc, The ISBN: 9781941302453 Number of pages: 80 The Little Red Wolf is an original fairy tale for children and adults alike (maybe more for the parents) with following the little red wolf as he is sent out to deliver a rabbit for his grandmother who is to old to hunt. Upon his travels the little wolf may face some problems along the way bringing an entertaining experience matched with wonderful artwork to be enjoyed by the reader. This was a wonderful tale with inspiration from little red riding hood. I went in thinking that was what I was going to see in the story and it split off into a whole new story of it's own with a wonderful lesson that things are not always what they seem, along side to listen to your mother, especially when she tells you to avoid the humans who hate wolves. I felt this was maybe more of a darker tale for children so it's probably aimed more at either the pare
