Review Quotes:
"[A] well-wrought atmosphere. . . . The black-and-white art is downright moody and dark; its visual intricacy vacillates between terrifying renderings of demons and shadowy and indistinct scenes of Scotland, making for an ambiance that seems intentionally disconcerting."--Kirkus Reviews
