“Sorrentino's hyperrealistic, heavilyphoto-referenced art creates an eerie sense of heightened reality in which thecrashing waves, looming lighthouse, and craggy faces of locals are as menacingas John's blood-drenched hallucinations. The page layouts disorient effectively,with panels forming concentric circles, or toppling vertiginously down the page,with the icy landscape perpetually hovering at the close of a fog-shroudedday.” -Publishers Weekly

“Sorrentino exhibits a mastery of illustrativetechnique, conveying creeping dread through oddly angular or looping layouts ofoverlapping panels, depicting unexpected details in the first half of thisvolume and later expressing cosmic terror with starkly realistic double-pagedepictions of inexplicable landscapes.” -Library Journal
