Mad Night by Richard Sala was another Hillhead library find. At first I wasn’t really sure where this graphic novel was going but by the end I was captivated. If you like Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events books (my little sister was a fan and I was way too old to be reading them when I did, still loved them), Mad Night is your kind of thing. It has a smilar kind of weirdness and grimness but with much more violence and even more unfortunate demises. I guess the best way to describe it is a horror detective novel, complete with pirate girls, talking puppets, siamese twins and academics with rhomboid skulls. Definitely a good’un!
