Like a graphic novel version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, this collection of original horror tales is packed with urban legends, terrifying twists, and delightfully haunted stories by one of the biggest stars in webcomics. Each story will make you scream for more!

A new take on a classic format, Bad Dreams in the Night is an updated, illustrated take on the horror anthologies the author grew up with as a kid, such as Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and In a Dark, Dark Room. These self-contained stories grew rapidly in popularity among the author's online audience, and even inspired production of a motion picture from Buzzfeed Studios and Lionsgate Films.

Filled with spine-tingling, pulse-increasing tales of mystery and supernatural occurrences, this book of never-before-seen comics will be the perfect gift for people who love Black Mirror and Stranger Things and listened to podcasts like Welcome to Nightvale and Rabbits.

This graphic novel was amazing!

This is my first time reading Adam Ellis and I was so suprised to see that he was the main illustrator for the entire book. His style is so different for each story that I had just assumed it was a collaboration with a bunch of different illustrators.

I think I yelled out "EWWWW" maybe six times while reading this lmao. There is a lot of weird body horror stuff that reminds me a lot of Jinji Ito. (If you're squeamish, its not really TOO gross visually, its mostly just contextually digusting. The art style isnt as intricately gross as Jiji Ito.) I particularly liked the 'hangnail' story which reminded me of that gross scene in Black Swan which horrified us all.

I found the stories to be very predictable - i'd clearly see where it would go almost as soon as it started, but it honestly didnt take away any of the enjoyment, and I feel like that's often the nature of these kinds of scary stories anyway. I really liked that it relied a lot on visual story telling and allowed the illustrations to take the spotlight.

An easy 5 star for me, and I would recommend this to any of my friends who enjoy spooky vibes.

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
