Review
An astounding portrayal of sexual perversion, the dark corridors of the human experience, and themes rarely explored in any medium, it will be one to hold onto for a very long time. (5 of 5 bullets) --Tim Hartnett, Line of Fire Reviews

David Hine's Strange Embrace is a masterful piece of horror fiction. Not content to merely show us 'boo' images, or the same old tired vampires and zombies, we are instead taken down a twisting, winding path of terrors both psychological and supernatural. (4/4 stars) --Ken Lowery, Pop Syndicate

Delving deep into childhood fears, the starkly powerful Strange Embrace establishes David Hine as one of Britain's most exceptional talents. --Time Out

Top Shelf - Chris Staros
"Hine weaves a hypnotic tale about a malicious clairvoyant obsessed with a tragically dysfunctional family. A truly scary horror story."

Deadline Magazine
"A small masterpiece of madness, memory, shadows and sexuality. A terrifying nightmare of modern gothic."

Customer Reviews

Best Graphic Novel
So far this is the best graphic novel I've read. I couldn't stop reading it! and the style of the drawings really support the story.

Dark Tale
A very dark tale with a plot that grabs you. The illustrations are just perfect for the kind of story, not over elavorated, but gloomy and sombre, exactly what the story needs.

One of the Great Unknown Graphic Novels.
This graphic novel really is one of the genre's masterpieces. It's a perfectly paced, intricately plotted gothic novel -- and the artwork complements the mood perfectly. A moody and brooding tale of control-freak psychics, sexual repression, insanity, guilt and horror. Something for everybody. If you've read all of Sandman, Alan Moore and Frank Miller, give this little shocker a try. You won't be dissapointed.
