![]() While I feel like I understand the ending, some of the choices of events leading up to the ending didn't seem to fit. With this being said, I was really into this novella, loving everything about it until about the 70% mark. I love the humor and witty dialogue he is able to bring to even the darkest, most haunting tales.Īlso, his books always go there, all the way to the deepest, most disturbing crevices of the human mind. ![]() ![]() The style is edgy AF, yet feels like Classic Horror all the same.

The best stories include: 1.) the two-issue “Hunger” / “A Feast of Friends” in which a heroin addicted (amateur magician) acquaintance of John’s unleashes a demonic swarm upon the world 2.) the creepy “Waiting for the Man” which draws upon the child abduction terror of the 80’s and 3.) the four-issue arc “Extreme Prejudice” through “Shot to Hell,” which imagines a cult forcing a young woman to bear a celestial child. The first nine issues are from the “Hellblazer” title in which John Constantine is protagonist, and the final two are from “Swamp Thing” (the title in which Constantine was originally introduced.)

Gomez and Hailey Bieber-a model and influencer who is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and niece of Alec Baldwin-have denied rumors of bad blood in the past, with Hailey insisting in September that “it’s all love” and no drama existed between the two. After Gomez and Bieber called for an end to the drama, they reportedly followed each other on Instagram, and fans noticed Bieber liked Gomez’s recent post, a throwback photo of her as a blonde. ![]() ![]() Miranda Dickinson has always had a head full of stories.
