Night of the Ghoul

The story starts with a guy and his son visiting a patient in an old age home. The father is looking for a person who is supposedly the creator of the lost classic 'Night of the Ghoul'. It was supposed to be the greatest horror movie of the era but got destroyed in a fire accident. The story is about the aforesaid movie, why the movie was made and what happened during the filming of the movie.
The story cuts to flashbacks and back to current timeline to show things are happening as they keep discovering new things. The story moves at a good pace and it is only six issues. The ghoul is considered to be the parent of all monsters. This story creates a good lore for how other monsters were created by the ghouls and how a secret society was created to keep it a secret and those could be explored in future stories. For now the story is just about the ghouls and what happened to them.
This story also explores the father son dynamic about how a father feels insecure about himself for not accomplishing any thing in life. It also explores the father's unhealthy obsession over this particular movie which leads to him putting his child in danger and neglecting his wife.
The story is amazing it develops very well over the six issues and concludes with a satisfactory ending. The art work and the colours are what kept me glued to the panels on the screen. The inks are clear and beautiful. The design of the ghouls and other monsters are menacing. But the beauty of this series is in the colouring. The colour palette chosen for this series is very unique for a horror story. The flashbacks are told in a kind of sepia color while the current timeline is told with some vibrant colours which suprisingly works for this horror story. The detailing of the artwork is very well complimented by the colours.
I read this on my tablet on Kindle which makes the colours pop even more. It is available through Kindle Unlimited subscription as this is a Comixology Original. Overall this is a fun read. Hope they explore more aspects of the stories. Oh! Did I mention there are secret societies.
