The Sleeplessness: 2015 Special

Picked this one up at New England Comics in Quincy MA over the summer.

Title: The Sleeplessness: 2015 Special
Date: 2015
Publisher: Fat Cat Funnies
Writer:Jay Kennedy
Artist: Jay Kennedy

A father and son are new in town, trying to get back on track after a run of bad luck. The teenaged son has the psychic ability to see how anyone he touches will die. The father might just be the man who causes the end of the world. And a girl who wants to know her fate is about to set everything into motion.

I liked this story. The characters felt natural, and the dialogue had a good flow to it. The scope of the story was simple, but effective, and the ending was bittersweet.

Solid backup story too, involving a cursed arcade game.

Aside for some minor issues with the editing, this was a really enjoyable bit of horror with some interesting twists and turns.

Rating: 8.5/10
