Cinema Panopticum

Summary

T. Ott plunges into the darkness with five new graphic horror novelettes: The Prophet, The Wonder Pill, La Lucha, The Hotel, and the title story, each executed in his hallucinatory and hyper-detailed scratchboard style and running between 16 to 20 pages. The first story in the book introduces the other four: A little girl visits an amusement park. She looks fascinated, but finds everything too expensive. Finally, behind the rollercoaster she eyeballs a small booth with CINEMA PANOPTICUM written on it. Inside there are boxes with screens. Every box contains a movie. Ott''s O. Henry-esque plot twists will delight fans of classic horror like The Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt, or modern efforts like M. Night Shamalayan''s films; his artwork will haunt you long after you''ve put the book down.
