It's basically a haunted-house tale transplanted to a run-down city apartment building. Pichetshote keeps Infidel beautifully simple. (No wonder this comic, which was first released in episodic form, made it onto NPR's list of 100 favorite horror stories.) Not only do the creators achieve their aim, balancing two seemingly opposed tendencies with uncanny facility, but they draw on that opposition to express a subtle message about how racism works - all while serving up scenes that will unsettle the world-weariest fan. Campbell's powerful illustration - a woman in a headscarf menaced by an exaggerated, spiky hand - signals that this book will delve into the real-world theme of racism while simultaneously embracing the phantasmal devices of horror. Right on the cover, Pornsak Pichetshote and Aaron Campbell's horror comic Infidel lays out a bold goal. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
