I really enjoyed the parallels between the stories and Jonathan's life and how it all came together - Amazon Reader

This book has no shortage of horrors to explore: from body horrors, bugs bursting from people's mouths, people crawling across the ceiling, flickerings of ghostly apparitions, bursting boils, and even a dip in a fresh pit of lava, across the multiple stories with abstracted, dark art supplemental paintings, we begin to unravel the mystery of the Gallery of Nightmares, the Shadow Nook, Jonathan, and what happened to his parents. We're just at the beginning of Jonathan's story as he's beginning to figure out who he is and how he fits in this puzzle. I can see a lot of series potential in this and how Jonathan will continue to interact with the Gallery... and the Gallery will interact in turn. - Amazon Reader
