If you do go in for gore, House of Penance by Ian Bertram, Peter J. Tomasi, Dave Stewart, and Nate Piekos will certainly delight. The fictionalized story of the building of Sarah Winchester’s bizarre and insane Winchester House, House of Penance feels like a fever dream filled with blood, intestines, and hallucinations. How Bertram makes intestines beautiful will always be a mystery to me, but he manages it somehow and the intense colors by Stewart add to the nightmarish mood of the whole book in a way that is sure to have you wishing for more.
