From the Inside Flap

A good horror comic need several things. It needs total command of mood. It needs a sense of gruesome poetic justice. It needs a touch of dark humor, to keep the gore from getting too depressing. And a little sex appeal can't hurt, either. I love Pet Shop of Horrors because Matsuri Akino knows the formula so well, and executes it with such style... -- Shaenon K. Garirity, ANIMERICA Pet Shop of Horrors is suggested for teens, 13 and up. I fall into the 'up' category by almost four decades but, even so, I loved this book. The first volume gets the full five Tonys--and I'm eager to read the second one. -- Tony Isabella, Comic Buyer's Guide
