Reviews

A Christmas Carol ★★★★★ Charles Dickens
It’s been ages since I last read the original, and I wanted a break from a longer book two days before Christmas, so I figured I’d pick it up. And yeah, the story holds up.
Ghostbusters ★★★★★ The jokes are still funny, the story still works, and even the effects hold up pretty well.
In the Shadow of Spindrift House ★★★★☆ Mira Grant
Imagine the Scooby-Doo gang encountering a Lovecraftian horror in Hill House. They manage about as well as you might expect.
iZombie (graphic novels) ★★★★★ Chris Roberson, Mike & Laura Allred, Todd Klein
A horror/comedy that ranges from Scooby Doo to Lovecraft by way of Moorcock, featuring thinking zombies, vampires who run paintball, ghosts, secret societies, and a were-terrier. Off the wall concepts and a clean, sharp art style that contrasts with the monsters and gore. The TV series was loosely based on these comics.

Missed Haunting
It turns out the Whaley House near our Comic-Con hotel in Old Town San Diego claims to be the most haunted house in America.
