The Ghostly Graphics series (4 titles) provides spooky tales based on real-life incidents, touching on the history that inspired the titular ghouls and haunts. Each work shares the now well-known tales and the accounts that keep them alive through a graphic-novel format that uses invented, speech-balloon dialogue; spare, narrative text boxes; and illustrations that favor action and drama. Even so, a healthy amount of skepticism is maintained, with each noting the facts that likely led to the story's genesis. The Voyage of the Flying Dutchman sees a modern family on a cruise recount the fateful final journey of Captain Hendrick van der Decken and the subsequent sightings of his and other ghost ships throughout history. Each title concludes with bonus historical facts and standard back matter. A series sure to pleasantly creep out and inform readers.
