Reviews for The Gnawer of Rocks

. . . [S]plendid storytelling, horrific in its content but wise in its consul. [The illustrations] capture the mysterious dark content of the tale and feature sweeping majestic but somber landscapes. An Inuit legend in graphic novel form! Atmospheric, painterly illustrations complement the text. The graphic novel layout works well, setting a good pace, and increasing tension as needed.
