    I'm hooked on Dark Spaces: Dungeon #1 with a payoff in the form of a bonafide dungeon. There's a grim vibe to Dungeon that grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. In some respects, this feels like the best of Clive Barker and Saw melded into one. Read Full Review

    The final pages see the stakes raised significantly for Tyler and his family, and ensures that any reader picking up issue one is all but guaranteed to want to pick up issue two. A character-focused thriller that taps into some stomach-churningly primal fears, this is a series you owe it to yourself to check out. Snyder and Sherman are a match made in creative heaven, and the Dark Spaces anthology continues to deliver banger after banger. Highly, highly recommended. Read Full Review

    It's really as good as a first issue can be. Really had me invested and left me wanting more.

    There is a lot to like about this story and it was definitely chilling. There are some themes or imagery that I find myself thinking back on days later. In my opinion that is the sign of a great story. This will no doubt be a very compelling series that I and many others will enjoy.

    The only aspect that gives me pause are a few minor details that tend to break the spell and pull me out of a story. I am all for suspending disbelief, but I am pretty sure all officers go on mandatory leave after discharging a firearm.
