Dark Entries

Dark Entries by Ian Rankin  214 pp.

If Dante were to write The Inferno today, on what level of hell would he make the punishment a reality television show? That is the question that came to mind while reading this graphic novel. John Constantine is a paranormal investigator who is hired by the producer of a reality television show that is a sort of cross between "Big Brother" and "Survivor" that takes place in a haunted house. The six people who have been chosen to live in the house have been dealing with their own hauntings before the show's producers started their own spooky stuff. Once there Constantine discovers things are not as they seem on the show and the producers are not what they appear to be. The shift in the reality of the story is shown by the change in the background of the art from white to black.

This book is based on the John Constantine, Hellblazer character but done by a different author and illustrator.
