There's a reason Bunn is regarded as a master of horror. A Legacy of Violence isn't bursting with jump scares; instead, it's much more cerebral and unsettling, as the ambiguous nature of the story gets under the reader's skin.

"From the lurid bright red splatter to the surgical equipment and gloved torture, A Legacy of Violence absolutely nails its cinematic 70s' slash 80s' Giallo vibes."
Joel Harley
Definitely one of the most ambitious projects yet for [Mad Cave Studios].
Heidi MacDonald
A fun and creepy little book. I honestly have no idea where things will go, and that’s a good thing. Cullen Bunn continues his hit streak with A Legacy of Violence. The pencils and art completely fit the story and work well with the horror genre.
