Even better than the first volume. Great variety of stories with the alien landing story and the love story being particular highlights.

This book is pretty stunning. The prose is poetic and moving, the images beautiful even when depicting ugly places. The storyline of this book (barring a one-off I was not as fond of) was pretty incredible, further developing the mythology around the titular character and teasing big things to come. Seeing some of the roots of one of my other favourite series, Sandman, was fun as well. Highly recommend and highly anticipate the next installations.

I was reading this on the train, and it was fairly light outside. But the more I read, the more I was pulled into the story - I remember thinking I was surrounded by nothing but darkness (it was while reading Abandoned House) and then being startled when I happened to look up. That's how amazing this is.
It's also genuinely scary and creepy. And gorgeous to look at (no thanks to the printing, but you get the idea and it's incredible). Comic art that pushes boundaries and works so very well with the story.
Highly recommended. I'll try and not wait another six months until I read the next volume.

It amazes me what the format of a graphic novel allows. I wish I had started reading graphic novels sooner. The emotions in these stories are incredible.
