BOOK REVIEW(S)
“HELL HOUSE is a mordant, witty, balls-out horror opus that defies expectation. The fear-mongering that fuels the far-right Christian fundamentalist movement is dramatized here with ghoulish aplomb. It’s scary and funny and jaw-dropping and never, ever boring. I’d sell my soul for a sequel. Amen!” Clark Perry, writer, ABC’s V

“…incredible illustrations by Tsubusa Yoroza… amazing, and definitely worth a read.”HorrorNews.net

“Hell House is a very strong effort… extremely good. 4 out of 5 stars”Craig Reade, Comixtreme.com

“…if you want a damn good comic read, buy Hell House: The Awakening…writers Chad Feehan and Ryan Dixon have created the greatest horror story I’ve read all year. 5 out of 5 “Half Channel.com
