Night of the Ghoul #4 Written by Scott Snyder Art by Francesco Francavilla Lettered by AndWorld Design Edited by Will Dennis Page Count: 26 Pages Digital Release Date: January 25, 2022 Age Rating: 17+ Only Sold by comiXology Score: ★★★★1/2 There are a lot of horror books in comic shops nowadays and that’s a good sign for a genre left in the shadow of other genres like superheroes.  There’s a comic on the horror spectrum for everyone and ‘Night of the Ghoul’ fills a sweet spot of nostalgia for old-fashioned horror movie storytelling and just how terrifying it can be.
