"This graphic novel is a bold and bloody reimagining of horror monsters that celebrates classic creature features, while creating an unsettling and contemporary new kind of horror story. [...] It was said to be the greatest horror movie in cinematic history. Shot in 1936, "Night of the Ghoul" by writer/director T.F. Merritt was meant to sit beside "Frankenstein" and "Dracula" as an instant classic... But the legendary film never made it to the silver screen. Just before editing was finished, a mysterious studio fire destroyed the footage and killed the cast and crew celebrating at wrap-party. Rumors of the doomed film's greatness persist to this day, but no footage from it was ever recovered... until now. Forest Inman is a horror film obsessive who digitizes old films for the famed Aurora movie studio. When Forest stumbles across a seemingly forgotten canister of footage, he just might have discovered the remnants of the lost classic "Night of the Ghoul." This discovery sends Forest on a dark odyssey to the California desert, where he's warned by a mysterious old man that the film's ghoul is far more than a work of fiction: it's a very real monster who plans to kill him." -- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Night of the Ghoul has excellent pacing and cuts between a and b plots at just the right time to build up tension without losing steam on either story. Using film reels as visual framing devices was clever too! The colors are striking but seeing the artist's signature hidden all over the place was distracting to detrimental to the story-Your name is on the front cover, we get it.
I don't think the story sticks the landing. The ending seems rushed in how quickly some character turns happen just to add more chaos to the mix. I would read another book like this but this doesn't match up with the quality that I've come to expect from anything with Scott Snyder's name attached to it. ( )
