N. is a graphic adaptation of a short yarn by storytelling icon Stephen King (later published in his 2008 collection, Just After Sunset). Something unearthly and terrifying inhabits Ackerman's Field in rural Maine, at the epicenter of a monolithic, Stonehenge-like arrangement of seven stones (or is it eight?). A gateway to another reality? A tear in the fabric of the universe? Whatever dwells there in that strange, windswept curtilage may harbor death for the eponymous "N.", a psychiatric patien...

Stephen King's N is based on Mr. King's short story. The narration, the artwork and the coloring is great (the coloring is more subtle and it isn't too bright and annoying like the other standard comic), the story is spooky and it also has a H P. Lovecraft's touch to it (cosmic horror and insanity, anyone?). Plot Spoilers Warning below!However! I totally don't get what the story is about, three people just go to this field which supposedly is the gateway to Hell and monsters *even knowing the da...

Stephen King meets Machen and Lovecraft! Fantastic story that turns into a real creeper. N gets treatment by a shrink. He is an accountant and has an obsessive compulsion for figures. When he takes some pictures in the countryside he comes across some mysterious stones that remind him on Stonehenge. At first he sees seven stones, the viewer of the camera sees eight. Then dark shadows begin to appear... what is the stone circle about? A Gate into another world? A very well composed and extremely

A Stephen King graphic novel adaptation that isn't the Dark Tower (or the Stand, which I haven't read), hell yeah it's gonna get 5 stars. I have not read the original story, and honestly I don't know if I can now. It's kind of like watching the movie adaptations and then reading the book, and having those interpretations in your head as you read. This is like that, sorta. I say sorta because I don't know close this is to the original source material. First off, the art is freaking amazing. It's

*Book source ~ LibraryAckerman’s Field. It should be a peaceful place of Nature, to sit and enjoy the view, have a picnic or toss a Frisbee about. But no. What is it about this particular place and why does it affect some people and not others? Real or delusions? Who’s brave enough to find out?Well, this isn’t creepy at all. I don’t read Stephen King. Ever. Or watch movies (except for the bits and pieces I’ve accidentally seen over the years) adapted from his books. Because heebie jeebies. But

4.5 stars. The original story is one of my favorites from Stephen King. This graphic novel adaptation stays very true to the source material while also adding a bit more.

I read the short story first and then decided to order this Graphic Novel. By the way, the short story collection by Stephen King which this story is included in is called "Just After Sunset" and the first printing included a animated DVD of webisodes for this story - very cool.This Graphic Novel really comes alive with the incredible detail involved in the illustrations and the dialogue is easy to follow and flows very smoothly. The story is very disturbing, in my opinion, as you follow the two...

This is a graphic novel adapted from Stephen King's novella of the same name found in his collection: Just After Sunset.
I enjoyed this- the art work was great and dynamic, and the mystery sucks you in right from the start.  It starts with a letter from a woman to an old friend talking about her brother's death.  From there we flash back to where it all started.  The brother was a psychologist working with a patient who developed OCD after visiting Ackerman's field in Motton, Maine.
It wasn't qu...

Let me start by saying this is a great graphic novel. Scary/disturbing art and a compelling story.The problem for me is the overall plot arc, however I'm not sure if this is a criticism of the original King short story or this graphic novel! My gripe is that despite an awesome haunting premise, the story essentially just repeats itself 4-5 times with mildly increasing horror each time, but relying largely on melodrama (i.e. horror at the events of things, not relating to any particular character...

4.5 Stars Holy Crap! I do so enjoy reading a few graphic novels every year, and this one....check out the amazing cover....is just that....amazing! My first thought....Oh No! Standing stones....a circle of 8 standing stones....or are there only 7? Did I count the stones each time they appeared in a panel? Yep! We all know what happened at the stones in Diana Gabaldon's OUTLANDER....(if you've read the novel)....and Oh Boy, they sure do look familiar....but we're not in Scotland and there's no hu...

I like how this story changes perspective in the final chapter. Photo-realistic artwork wasn't the best.Everyone gets obsessed with the Stone Henge, pushed to the edge where they ultimately die! All because Mr. N.'s story about how he got OCD. N is for Nathan.

OK, so when I saw the cover to this graphic novel and was reminded of the Predator, I knew I had to own this. Your dreams will thank me. :DI loved the story that this graphic novel was adapted from. It was so creepy and ominous, it's a thing of beauty. And reading this GN back to back with Dark Tower: Last Shots shows just how much Lovecraft has influenced King over the years. I love it, how he takes the homage torch and runs with it. It's fantastic. The only thing that would make it better was

more like 3.5/5 starsI was not disappointed. This graphic novel is one of the creepiest, most insidious ever. Why does a field haunt some people, drive them mad and lead them to suicide? Who is this N person? And what is this evil thing living in the field? Would it ever end? This novel is about all that and more, the adaptation is gorgeous. Every page was perfect

This is by far the creepiest and scariest graphic novel that I've read. But it's Stephen King, what else did I expect?I should also say that I loved every second of reading it. I loved art style, how the story was told, jumping from person to person and I loved the ending. It really gave me the chills.If you're a fan of King's work (or just horror in general) I would definitely recommend.

Can a field make you obsessed? mentally ill? No right? that whould be crazy! When the patient only known by the name N. tells that he changed after visiting Ackerman’s Field in Maine, the doctor doesnt believe him. Well... he shouldWhen you hear the name Stephen King, you expect something good, scary and good. N. will not disappoint you. The story ( nice job on the adaptation ) with the art are combined very well and the result is one of the scariest graphic novels.

When I first read Just After Sunset there were only a small handful of shorts in it that I actually liked. King’s short stories for me have always been hit or miss. But N. was an instant favorite. N. was compulsive and addicting. I loved it from the start and it finished strongly too- another of King’s big Hit or Miss topics.When I made my trip to Bangor in April I was able to visit a real bookstore…and a real comic book shop! Now, this may seem like nothing to all of you who live where there ar...

Now that was messed up. This graphic novel adaptation of King's short story isn't just creepy, it's insidious.There's a field in the backwoods of Maine (of course) where there are eight standing stones. Except when there are only seven. If there are seven, something horrible will break free into the world. If there are eight, the world is safe - for a time. The story follows a succession of people who come to learn about the stones and take on the burden of counting them, over and over, to make

This is amazing and I thought while a departure from King's horror type of story, this was much better. "N" is a patient seeking help your his problem "am I losing my mind" and is recommended to a psychologist.In this story, the horror doesn't attack as the way a rapid dog might. It doesn't climb out of a sewer and become a giant nightmare. The horror isn't the spirit of the dead or a car with a mind of "her" own. No, here the horror is much deeper ingrained, so deeply ingrained that even if we

N. was a pretty damn good story. I was not familiar with the SK short story behind this one.Marc Guggenheim does a good job adapting the story to comic format and Alex Maleev's art is very fitting to the story.Ahh the story. I won't spoil it, but a brief overview might help. Dr. J Bonsaint is a psychiatrist who is helping a patient named "N".N has OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). As the Dr. listens to his tale it turns out there is a place called Ackerman's Field. After visiting this place N...

This graphic novel had awesome artwork, and the pacing of the story was done nicely. I didn't find it to have quite the impact of the original King story, but that's not surprising. I mean, King is my favorite author and the visuals in his writing is rarely matched.That said, this was an enjoyable read before bed. Though I do hope I didn't catch N's "cold".I didn't count how many words were in this reviews...honest.Really.80.
