About the author

Anthony Michael Bourdain was an American celebrity chef, author, and travel documentarian. He starred in programs focusing on the exploration of international culture, cuisine, and the human condition.
Bourdain was a 1978 graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and a veteran of many professional kitchens during his career, which included several years spent as an executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles, in Manhattan. He first became known for his bestselling book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (2000).

Bourdain's first food and world-travel television show A Cook's Tour ran for 35 episodes on the Food Network in 2002 and 2003.

I thought this was a really fun issue! I like the concept of this a lot. If I had to pick, the horse story was my favorite of the two shown.

Εξαιρετικό το σχέδιο της ιστορίας με το άλογο, αλλά το σενάριο αδύναμο. Εξίσου αδύναμο το σενάριο με το κεφάλι, μια καθαρά γιαπωνέζικη ιστορία που η μεταφορά της στην Ιταλία των αρχών του αιώνα δε με έπεισε.

I love Anthony Bourdain. I’ve even really enjoyed some of his fiction. And I love the premise of this series. But alas the format is just too short to fully flesh out the spooky stories which results in a just marginal read.

The stories feel disorganized.

[Bonnie Morse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as the first issue. The art in the first story was excellent and the story had promise, but there was a lot of squicky animal stuff and the ending wasn't strong enough to make up for it. The second story was just stupid.

I like the premise, but i think the format is too short for 2 stories in a single issue. I think 1 story could be fleshed out better and make for a more compelling horror story.

[Ivy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it! Very entertaining. This is a highly recommended read for foodies, avid fans of the late Anthony Bourdain, and foodies who love reading manga. The artwork exhibits the horror/suspense-thriller vibe that put me on the edge of my seat and I found it hard to put it down. Read through all Hungry Ghosts books with so much enthusiasm, I had to get all books in one hardbound collection. 5 stars. Will copy this review for the other Hungry Ghosts books.

İlk kitabın son bölümünden sonra iyice iğrençleşip bu kitabın son bölümünde biraz toparladı. Pek korkutucu olmasa da oldukça farklı fikirlerle oluşturulmuş. Yine de pek başarılı değil.
