Not for me I'm afraid. There's almost a zombie feel to it, but the two men bitten over and over don't seem to transform after being (partially) eaten, so I'm really sure if it's zombies or not. Maybe? The thing is, I'm not giving it a two star rating because I think The Craving is bad, because it isn't. I'm not convinced by the central relationship, but the whole thing is creepy and it is disturbing, and if this were a straight novel, or a short story, I might well rate it higher. It's just when it comes to comics and graphic novels, my reaction to the art pretty much characterises my reaction to the whole, and I bounced straight off the art here. It didn't appeal at all - which is not to say that it won't appeal to other readers. Art is such a personal thing, and a lot of what's here is perhaps too amorphous - and in some places just too unclear - for me to truly appreciate. When Helen was vomiting blood in the kitchen, for instance? I didn't get that that's what she was actually doing until another character described it on a following page. Not always being able to understand the pictures straight away is no doubt appealing to some people, but not to me.
