VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles-where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings-and prays to survive the challenge. Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food. First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly. Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope.

Reviews


If Diablo House is the new House of Mystery, then consider this the new House of Secrets. It's not quite as cool, but it can hang out in the same parking lot.
It's a well done anthology from Karen Bergers new imprint but it's not going to change your life, unless you've been thinkin' 'bout givin' up yore piratin' ways, then maybe.
Highly recommended for fans of creepy comics, castrato, and those who secretly long for an Iron Chef film directed by Quentin Tarentino.
