Meet Dinah, a disturbed young girl who has been sent to the small town of Bizenghast to live with her aunt following the tragic death of her parents. Dinah thinks her aunt's house is haunted, but her aunt thinks she has some sort of mental illness. Dinah sneaks out with her only friend, Vincent, and together they discover a lost graveyard where Dinah reads from a stone engraving. This act binds her to a contract requiring Dinah to release spirits stuck somewhere between life and the afterlife. So Dinah begins her quest of "cleaning" the vaults, crypts and graves of lost souls, while struggling with the haunts at home and suspicions of her growing mental illness.

I dig it
by J.T. Sheldon
I never read Bizenghast back in the day so this review is coming from someone new to the series who has never seen any of the individual releases in person.
The story is interesting. At first I thought it was getting episodic but I feel like it picked up in the second half. It's not the usual genre I read but I'm enjoying it.
It loses points on packaging, I feel like they should have done 2 volume omnibus editions or made these 3 volume omnibus editions hardcover. I read it very carefully but there were several parts in the book where I really had to stretch the book apart pretty far to read some of the word bubbles. It still looks fine, but after reading this a few times I suspect the spine will start to show a lot of wear and tear. & look at the cover design! It's begging to be in hardcover.
These will look nice on your shelf if you're a collector but if you read them more than once they might wear out quickly. It is what it is.
