Including an unconventional eulogy, a maze of a drug trial, and a bittersweet meditation on addiction and recovery, Ice Cream Man continues to surprise with its meta and cross-genre experimental storytelling, as well as its sad, nihilistic, hopeful, disturbing, funny, humane mélange of loosely connected issues. It remains utterly fascinating, with each new volume finding fresh territory to explore. What began as a horror anthology continues to grow with each surreal revelation.
