"A beautiful final testament to the joy, weirdness, and humor found in Sala's work... This collection is something to be cherished.-- ""Comics Bookcase"" Featuring the blend of horror and camp humor that defines so much of Salas' work.-- ""IGN"" Words alone don't capture the virtuosity and craftsmanship displayed in Sala's ink and water-color panels... The four richly illustrated novellas showcase Sala's unmistakable style that mixed humor, horror and mystery.-- ""Berkeleyside"" 311 pages of weird and beautiful art and insanity. The best kind.-- ""Fangirl Nation"" A fitting capstone to the prolific, idiosyncratic artist's career. Readers won't want to miss this last visit to Sala's peculiar world.-- ""Publishers Weekly (starred review)"" Brilliantly atmospheric art, full of shadows and spikes.-- ""Booklist"" Garishly clad villains, B-movie monsters, and femme fatales abound in this genuinely fun, energetic collection, a lasting testament to Sala's distinct talent.-- ""Library Journal"" Richard Sala was wonderfully unique. It was all there in everything he did, his love of old monster movies, the pulps, mystery and horror in general -- the good stuff and the terrible -- wore it all like a badge of honor and did wonderful things with it. I miss him.--Mike Mignola More than 300 pages of absolute visual splendor, as the legendary writer/artist takes us through tales of rogue criminals and cavewomen battling dinosaurs, monsters and mayhem, blood and beauty. ... Poison Flowers and Pandemonium will stand as a self-made tribute to one of the great comics minds of the past half-century, and a testament to the power of pure, unfiltered imagination.-- ""Syfy Wire"""
