Reviews

"Geary’s very dry wit and expert pacing hit just the right note on this journey into the macabre." -No Flying No Tights 


"I came late to the Victorian Murder party, but I really like Geary’s just-the-facts-ma’am approach, and I’d love to read some of his earlier volumes." -Brigid Alverson, Robot 6 


"A must-read for those who love comics and Gothic-tinged history. These pages are an artist's master class. Geary's cinematic style establishes visual rhythms that set the pace for a story that remains vibrant despite the fact that the only voice we read is the narrator's. Beautiful." -Cleveland Plain Dealer


"It is a very eye-catching, old school style of inking that is pleasant to look at and a perfect fit for the time period he’s bringing to life and the tone of the stories." Unshelved
