(from the publisher)

A mundane life takes a strange and magical turn in this rich gothic fantasy told with vivid black-and-white art. As he twists the key and slowly creeps into the grand mansion left to him in his father’s will, Salem Brownstone has an eerie feeling that his world is about to change. First there’s the appearance of a beguiling contortionist from Dr. Kinoshita’s Circus of Unearthly Delights, then a crystal ball, then an attack by the sinister Shadow Boys. It seems Salem’s father was a powerful magician, and the son has inherited his dark legacy - and an unfinished battle for life or death.
