The title might suggest a Texas chainsaw splatterfest, but the reality is you have here a fascinating book with damned perfect art. A preternatural killer stalks a town that exists in the bowels of… well, if they’re lucky it’s only a whale. When said killer kills the city ratcatcher (a more perilous job than normal, given the rats in question), the victim’s son abandons his artistic dreams to inherit the mantle. Simon Spurrier’s script is so tight it’s difficult to abridge, but some fascinating reading, and Frazier Irving makes it all worth staring at even without words.
