Twisted Dark Volume 1 [Illustrated] [Paperback]

It s obvious that many hours of hard work and money went into the making of Twisted Dark. Between thinking up 12 different stories and getting 6 artists to draw for his book, this is clearly Gibson s baby. I massively enjoyed the variety of artwork and the disturbing plot twists. I would easily recommend this to any suspense or horror lover. Felicity Gustafson Comics Bulletin --http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/130939538995474.htm

I really enjoyed this book. It s been a while since I ve read any comic of this nature so this was really refreshing. I would imagine it would be just as impressive to regular readers of the genre. Gibson is a very talented writer and it s obvious he put a lot of work into this, and has collaborated with impressive artists. I highly recommend this book and I m looking forward to reading volume 2. Tristam Taylor of Comics Bulletin --http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/130939538995474.htm

In short, the collection is a great start for this creative team. It's unsettling and chilling at every page, and the ending revelations are all suitably disturbing, living up to the standard that its bleak aesthetic creates from the moment the cover is opened. It's hard for me to pick a favorite story; I honestly liked them all, and I feel that each one offer something that the others don't, making the collection as a whole cover all the bases of what, in realistic settings, is scary as hell. It's dark enough that horror fans will enjoy it (I certainly did), yet it still manages to be accessible to readers who prefer drama and suspense to all-out guts and blood. It's a happy medium, I think, and this book has the potential to gather quite a wide audience. I hope it does, as I'd like to read more like it by this team in the future. Great, sophisticated, dark, frightening, and fun stuff. Tosha - Everything That Rises Must Be Read --http://toshareads.blogspot.com/2011/04/comics-review-twisted-dark-vol-1-by.html
