Road of Bones
by Rich Douek
Bleak, disturbing, and brutal. Those would be the three words I'd used to describe this realistic horror title.
Roman is in hell. Well it feels like it. In the times of war when one wrong word about a dictator can send you to a life of imprisonment, Roman made a joke, and is suffering the consequences. When two of his fellow prisoners decide to bread free he follows them. But is the horrors of the cold world even more dangerous than the one inside a prison?
This is a brutal outlook of a survival story with horror sprinkled on top. If it wasn't bad enough seeing people being beaten to death you have to watch people go crazy and murder just to survive harsh winter conditions. I really enjoyed the characters, each giving off their own voice, and a reason to want to live. I also felt the art nailed the atmosphere and made it depression and cold at all times. I feel though the art, as much as I love it in Sink, made it hard to tell who is who face wise. Everyone looked very similar. And the story is semi-predictable but still very enjoyable.
Overall, if like realistic horror this one is for you. A 4 out of 5.
