Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
A group of scientists and mediums go into a haunted house. With his own take on Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" Richard Matheson created another classic in the horror-genre that found its movie-adaptions and in this title its graphic-novel-adaption.
Simon Fraser's illustration take the readers on a very convincing ride that might spend many readers a few interesting nightmares. The drawings are quite explicit in some ways like in the adaption of " I Am Legend" which explains the Mature-Reader-Suggestion on the flap quite clearly.

Richard Matheson + Grapic Novel = Great Outing
2. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I've always enjoyed the Hell House tale. Matheson had a way with his wording and the haunted house impact was really something he seemed to understand. That really comes through in this showing from IDW, too, because the book has an appeal that seems like more than a story and pictures coming together. It seems like words gaining another level of atmosphere and, honestly, it is hard to say that about some tales.
Hell House is an old tale that takes place in a really terrible place. Strange things have happened here and a team of people are assembled to access the home. You can tell the age of the idea by the team but the rustic way they present themselves simply adds to the horror. And then there's the home itself.
For some people, one problem might be the black and white presentation. Another might be the way the art is present BUT I really liked it. You can see samples of both if you need to know about that, and I would suggest it. I say that because the art makes or breaks the atmospheric back of a tale and, really, you can't go through a haunting without feeling the terror of the place. It relies on that imapact.
As far as translation of the tale, this is done wonderfully. I thought I might have a problem with this but, once in, I felt the book flow. It isn't a small thing, either, so you are not going to feel like you go a small publication. This is a thick book with a lot of ideas and a lot of dialog. It also has a lot of other stuff too, not ripping away the horror element.
For people who want the Graphic Novel imapct of the tale, I would say go for it. I would also say that fans or that people who don't know it alike might like the showing. If you feel some purist need when it comes to your stories I would say that this might be something to stay away from, but only then. Otherwise it is a nice taste and you will go out feel a little more connected with what a haunting should feel like.
I wish more authors knew these golden ways.

A More Faithful Adaptation
28. Februar 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
More faithful to the original book than the Roddy McDowell/Clive Revill film version that first hooked me many years ago. I loved that movie and I love Matheson's original book, but I view them as distinct entities and enjoy them based on their own merits. With this graphic novel I have a sort of fusion of the two that I can enjoy on yet a third level. I dropped it down a star, because I still love the movie and the book more. Still, highly recommended!

Format:Taschenbuch
A good old fashioned tale of the unknown in a graphic novel format. It was everything I expected. Very enjoyable.
