I bought this sight unseen because I so enjoyed McNamara's Martian Confederacy books.

There's more horror than humor here, but a few funny bits pop up in a decent tale about what really happened to the settlers of Roanoke. It's a shame the artwork is so dreadful.

I probably would have given this 4 stars, but the art is kinda messy. The story was ok though.

Werewolves and New England colonial history. The story is pretty thin, but it has some creative touches (and one very funny bit right at the end) and the art is decent.

Meh. Artwork was generally very cluttered and busy - difficult to follow. Storyline was ok, but pretty thin.
