- I only read the first 3 so far, and I also liked "Midnight Meat
- Train", and also "Dread", "Jacqueline Ess", and many others.

- I have seen them, but not bought them. I know "Meat Train" and
- "Dread" are graphic novels, and a brief flip through them looked like
- a good adaptation. Has anyone read both the graphic novel and the
- short story for any of these and can you give a comparison? From the
- glimpse I got, I would probably suggest them if you have the $$ to
- spend.
