"Mercier's adaptation perfectly walks the line between spooky and fun. While not taking away from the beauty and importance of the traditional story, Mercier enhances it just enough to bring something new and exciting to the table." The Hippo Press
"Mercier retained basic elements of the tale but focused more acutely on psychological aspects of this time-honored story of redemption, cleverly spotlighting a dark and difficult journey that centers around a man who doesn't see a need to change." The Union Leader
