When the neighborhood recluse, Old Man Gabe, dies, Noah, Theo and Max, tween friends decide to hang out together and peek into the estate from the safety of the fencing surrounding the grounds. They observe that final services are being held and when the adopted granddaughter of the deceased is permitted, she being in the same age group decides to join the three boys in exploring the house.
The explorations of these four companions lead to several perilous encounters with some monsters and most frightening of all, these creatures are made of shadows. While our brave foursome does manage to save themselves they find out that it is only when they travel to the other side of the Shadow Door and obtain the tools they need to survive.
The text in this graphic novel is quite entertaining due to the writing quality and good plotting and it is also great fun to look at the art work.
