[Graphic Novel Review] Five Ghosts Vol. 3: Monsters and Men

July 5, 2017      Erica Robyn      2 Comments

Cover of Five Ghosts Vol. 3: Monsters and Men

With many thanks to my local library, I was able to get my hands on this third volume, Five Ghosts Vol. 3: Monsters and Men by Frank J. Barbiere, illustrated by Chris Mooneyham.

If you missed my reviews for the previous books in the series, click the links below.

My review of Five Ghosts, Volume One: The Haunting of Fabian Gray.
My review of Five Ghosts, Volume Two: Lost Coastlines.

My Thoughts on Five Ghosts Vol. 3: Monsters and Men by Frank J. Barbiere, Chris Mooneyham (Illustrator)

The pacing of this volume was very quick, and of course, it was action packed! I enjoyed seeing how the story developed.

Sebastian continues to be my favorite character, but it was interesting to meet Van Helsing as well!

I loved that we got more flashbacks in this volume which allowed us to learn more about Sebastian and Fabian’s relationship. I think their friendship is so wonderful!

Per usual, the artwork and color scheme were awesome.

I also really enjoyed the lack of color in the dream and flashback sequences, like this:

At the end of this volume, there were two shorts that were also included. One was a Five Ghosts tale called “The Demon and the Dreamstone.” I enjoyed the story of this one, but didn’t really care for the artwork. The second was “Boats Against The Current.” I liked the artwork of this one, but I have to admit that I thought the storyline was lacking.

Beware, the negative:
My only complaint is that I was confused for a minute when I picked up this volume. I had totally forgotten where we left off in Volume 2… So I wish this volume had just a little bit of a summary to catch the reader up to the storyline.

My Favorite Lines from Five Ghosts Vol. 3: Monsters and Men

Never doubt the power of the human spirit.

I won’t lose another ally to the darkness.

There are no real monsters, Fabian. Just men and the evil that we do.

My Final Thoughts on Five Ghosts Vol. 3: Monsters and Men

Another wonderful addition to this series! I gave this one four stars.

I cannot wait for Volume 4 to be published!

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
