After receiving a telegram informing him of the death of his estranged father, Salem Brownstone travels to the house that is his inheritance and learns that his life is in danger. This large-format graphic novel features intricate black-and-white illustrations that support the text by building its sense of the macabre. Readers will appreciate the story's detail, danger, and unique characters.
