Set in a dark, fantasy world in which monsters are very real and seemingly very prevalent, The Hunt features two stories – Massacre at Midnight and Red Night – along with an Epilogue which sets up a future story.

Massacre at Midnight sees an Innkeeper and his barmaid terrorised by some monstrous, albeit all too human, townspeople – with help arriving from an unlikely source.

Red Night focuses on a vampire, and her attempts to escape the clutches of a relentless hunter.

Both stories are action packed, fast paced and told with a great deal of visual flair, as well as an impressive amount of world building and characterisation, despite there being minimal exposition. It takes no time at all to be swept up in the monster-infested world of the stories, which adds its own unique elements to familiar creatures, such as vampires, werewolves and more.

One aspect I really appreciated was the sympathetic treatment of the monsters themselves, despite their vicious and animalistic nature. I tend to find myself on the side of the oppressed, hunted creatures in many creature features and classic horror stories; it seems to me as if the creator of The Hunt, Jorin Evers (who, very impressively, is solely responsible for putting the comic together), shares this viewpoint, as his monsters are much more than just mindless, evil beasts.

My only complaint is that there’s not more of The Hunt to read yet; I was rapidly absorbed by the world and its inhabitants, and can’t wait to explore more of it.

The Hunt is currently in the midst of its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter; you can check it out, and pledge for your own copy of the comic, at this link.
