But when a rumor circulated that there's a safe haven somewhere out there, he and his friends must set off on a path paved with terror around every corner...
Book of Evil #1 is an unsettling yet well-crafted introduction into a new world that captivates using a combination of a strong POV and sparse illustration. Read Full Review
Jocks art perfectly complements the literary tone of the series. Its minimal and beautifully done in a way that feels like the character is telling the reader the story visually as well as with words. Read Full Review
Stories like the Book of Evil are more crucial than ever in a world where people seem more and more disconnected from their fellow man. A thought-provoking horror that's as scary as it is relevant. Read Full Review

The prose in this book is absolutely amazing. It will give you goosebumps, chills, and make your skin crawl! I highly recommend this to anyone who likes horror! I docked a point just because there's not very much art and it's a bit random. Great art though!
