Night Of The Ghoul

A dazzling work of horror, intercutting between the present day and the story of a lost film. Horror masters Scott Snyder (American Vampire, Wytches) and Francesco Francavilla (Afterlife with Archie) collaborate for the first time! This graphic novel is a bold and bloody reimagining of horror monsters that celebrates classic creature features, while creating an unsettling and contemporary new kind of horror story. Horror film obsessive Forest Inman stumbles across a seemingly forgotten canister of old footage. Thinking he has found the legendary unreleased would-be classic 1936 film ?Night of the Ghoul,? he sets off on a dark odyssey to the California desert, where he?s warned that the film?s ghoul is far more than a work of fiction: it?s a very real monster who plans to kill him. It was said to be the greatest horror movie in cinematic history. Shot in 1936, ?Night of the Ghoul? by writer/director T.F. Merritt was meant to sit beside ?Frankenstein? and ?Dracula? as an instant classic?But the legendary film never made it to the silver screen. Just before editing was finished, a mysterious studio fire destroyed the footage and killed the cast and crew celebrating at wrap-party. Rumors of the doomed film?s greatness persist to this day, but no footage from it was ever recovered?until now. Forest Inman is a horror film obsessive who digitizes old films for the famed Aurora movie studio. When Forest stumbles across a seemingly forgotten canister of footage, he just might have discovered the remnants of the lost classic ?Night of the Ghoul.? This discovery sends Forest on a dark odyssey to the California desert, where he?s warned by a mysterious old man that the film?s ghoul is far more than a work of fiction: it?s a very real monster who plans to kill him.
