    Another fantastic horror comic from Scott Snyder. This story is a strange mix of runaway, roadtrip, dustbowl drama and horror. We see our young protagonist runway from home on the rails to find his biological father in the 1910's. On his quest he is shown the perils of life on the road as well as the face of pure evil. The story is pretty straight forward and fairly predictable but the tension that Snyder delivers especially in the last two issues is comic horror perfection. The story does seem to drag just a little in the middle issues and seems to gloss over some of the character development that I would of really liked to of seen. But even with the few lulls there the story does capture the reader. The art really shines with this period piece and really makes you feel like you're taking a trip cross country in early 1900 America. Overall this was a great horror book set in a time you don't see many comics tackle and is definitely worth a read if you a fan of horror comics!
