What are ghouls?Some kind of maggot-looking ancient parasite that happens to have a bunch of crazed cult followers.Because what sort of self-respecting ancient parasite doesn't have a cult surrounding them?This idiotic dad and his young son (who is 100xs wiser than he has any right to be with his moron father's DNA pumping through him) find out exactly what these maggots are up to in this long-term care facility.I hope the kid survives. But I'm not going to shed any tears if the father gets turn...
We learn more the ghoul as well as the familial dynamics that are troubling the father and son protagonists. While there are some compelling aspects to this (like the efforts to recover the film), I'm starting to lose interest in the book. So much of it feels underdeveloped and sketched in: even with the backstory, the ghoul monster feels very generic; the familial tension feels totally unearned and not developed at all in the story itself; and the art is often overly sketchy so that moments tha...
See Chapter 5 for review on Night of the Ghoul so far.

I read this book via Kindle Unlimited. Ask me am I fuming that this ended on a "to be continued". Ask me am I fuming right now. When will this be continued? I can't believe it's been left like that oh my god.
It's got me hookedThis series has kept me intrigued. It's kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting more! Way better than I expected.
Getting betterEach new issue seems to get better and better. This volume ups the tension for sure! The artwork is amazing!
I need issue 4!
I like that we get more of the background about the ghoul and the cult. Seeing the family dynamics in the Inman family is cool.
An ancient struggle is introducedFollowing the genre, the Order of the Fly and the order of the Sacrab are introduced. The first more powerful order that supports the ghoul has destroyed the latter. The professor is introduced and the ghoul’s story is given a mythology. Execution-wise there is still this back-and-forth between the comic’s reality and the lost film. The comic continues to include popular 50s horror tropes which is fantastic nostalgia. I should add that after issue 2 I found mysel...
I'm definitely hooked. This is going in a cool direction and I'm interested to see what comes next.
Phenomenal Scott Snyder wrote it. Need I say more???I can't wait for rest of the series, but I know I have to.
And now I have a problem…the next issue isn’t out yet. Loved the gul/gods folklore. It’s also doing what the best horror does, reflecting the times while telling it’s own story.
“I spent years researching gul tales, and they're as old as mankind. There's evidence of "ghouls" all across pre-Islamic Arabia, dating back to foundational human settlements. In ancient Sumer, the demon Azag... Then in dynastic Egypt, Sekmet, the god of pestilence. Throughout the cradle of civilization, there are legends of a 'dark, crawling thing that takes human shape’...a powerful, parasitic creature that 'hungers for the dead’. A species of ancient death dealers. A beast that exists to w
