The Scarecrow Man by Miguel Gonçalves
5.0
The Scarecrow Man is a short novellete? I'm not too sure what it would be classified as.
However as the short little project that this is, it's a fun read. Because of it's length there isn't much I can say without spoiling much.
Coming in with a sort of pulp feel, it really created this sort of southern country fried vibe. Miguel is pretty good at having it be this nondiscript place, but there was something about it that made me pick up on that atmosphere.
Interspersed with the story is this fantastic art that makes me think of Frank Miller in Sin City or the comic version of Creepshow.
Together they compliment each other into this story that really helps this narrative gain an extra bit of life. I really just couldn't help but thoroughly enjoy myself with it. Where my biggest complaint might be that i wish this was either part of a bigger collection, or the story was longer. It really had me wanting to read more from Goncalves (and in turn, see more of that art)
