"Scary, Compelling, With Killer Art!" - Justin Jordan (Green Lantern) "Fun And Disturbing!" - Joshua Hale Fialkov (I, Vampire) "Filled with cold, black woods, barely human monstrosities, and moments of almost Conan-like action, it's a full-blood, teeth-bared comic that deserves your attention." - Ain't It Cool "Mooneyham was born to draw... The book looks amazing. For her part, Deering's story resists exploitation and presents a believably tragic romance." - Comic Book Resources "Deering and company twist and reconfigure the cliches of the genre - from vampires, to werewolves to witches - shows they've done their homework... it's that passion that enables it to be so entrancing and readable, the way great horror works always are." - Comics Bulletin "A True Horror Masterpiece, Not To Be Missed!" - Decapitated Dan, Comic Related "Anathema is a return to classic horror." - Geek Girl project "Smart, and romantic and tragic and brutal and beautiful all at once, a love song to the dark woods of horror, screamed from a mountaintop against a wide, white moon. Listen closely, and join in." - SFX If you love Hammer horror films and things that go bump in the night, Anathema is a book that you will not want to miss." - Comic Monsters "Fresh, diverse, and interesting...Anathema embraces the traditional while adding a modern twist, and the book is all the stronger for it." - Nerdly "Tight writing and great visuals...I absolutely love it" - Comic Buzz "Unique and refreshing!" - Project Fandom
