Cursed Land is heavily based on the Amityville Horror crime and legend, so how much you like this might depend on how much you liked that. That said, I love a good haunted house story, so I ate this one up. I also loved the art in the first two segments and thought it fit the story perfectly. Unfortunately, a different artist illustrated Part 3, the concluding segment, and the difference was jarring. The new art wasn't bad, but I didn't like it nearly as much as the original illustrations, and it dampened the impact of the finale somewhat. The ending also felt a bit rushed, but that could be just me, as I find myself feeling that way about comics quite often.
My copy of Cursed Land also included the additional story, Night Screams for Mercy, a giallo-inspired tale. I love gialli as much as love haunted house stories, so this was a neat treat for me. The rich colors of the art fit the story perfectly. While the solution to the mystery was a little out there (and also somehow predictable), if you're a giallo fan, you'll know that's pretty par for the course, so it was actually quite fitting.
I definitely recommend this two for one deal. Both stories are entertaining, fast reads. I only wish the art for Cursed Land's finale had held up with all the rest of it.
