review:
'Twisted Dark, Volume 3' by Neil Gibson is back, and we are back to the darker tales like we got in the first volume. The stories don't always have a twist, but they are all a bit twisted.

The stories do have some similar characters. Some are easier to pick out than others. One recurring character is El Nudillo, a ruthless and malicious drug lord. Characters who cross his path don't have very good things happen to them. There's also a woman who samples some wine at a supermarket, then gets pulled over for drunk driving. A young boy who is scared of something in the night takes it to an interesting career choice. Probably the most poignant story is 'Perfection' about a young girl looking to lose weight, and never happy with the results until the final results are revealed.

There are other stories, but I'll leave them for the reader to discover. The art is all by different artists. Some is better than others, but the real reason to read this is for the twisted imagination of Neil Gibson. The stories read like the old EC Horror comics or the old CBS Radio Mystery Theater. Classic throwback horror stories with more modern characters. I liked this one as much as the first volume.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, TPub, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
