Night Shift

1978 | Collection

Reviewed May 14, 2012
Though most of tales are EC Comics style setups for twist endings, they’re well executed, and the others such as the opening “Jerusalem’s Lot”, which borrows from Bram Stoker’s The Lair of the White Worm, and the closing, “The Woman in the Room”, about a man’s struggle to deal with his cancer-ridden mother’s slow death, are outstanding, the latter especially so given that we now know that it’s essentially an autobiographical story.
