Black spins a poetic and enthralling tale; highly recommended for fans of Scooby-Doo; shabby glamour and dark atmosphere make for an electric setting; for folks seeking a whip-smart erotic romance with nuance; an eerie glow on the denizens of London’s criminal class; for those who enjoy unearthly tales grounded in historical events; this neatly tied-up conclusion is especially impressive |
