Much of Harrison's beautiful writing has been sacrificed upon the altar of Ian Miller's art. Miller is fantastic (when he spends the time to detail certain pages) but a lot of this book's art seems rushed, for lack of a better word. It's a nice addition to the short story. By itself, I'm not sure the graphic novel would stand up. I guess you'll have to ask someone who hadn't read Harrison's short-story prior to this collaboration :P Either way, I'm pretty sure this is the creepiest graphic novel I've ever read. It's true to the content, in that way, I suppose... The Luck in the Head is a nightmarish tale, and Miller's art matches that theme perfectly. Overall I'm happy to have it on my shelf. As an artist, I think I'll find myself reaching for this as inspiration again and again, but probably only a select few pages. Other than that, I may just bring it out for company, whenever something grotesque or nightmarish comes up, haha.

terrifying but good
