“In a fall season typified by much more categorizable frights, NIGHTMARE FACTORY provides a bitterly entertaining treat for those attuned to its storyteller’s grim sentiments.”
—The Boston Globe

“A large and generally very impressive gathering of imaginative and stylish horror fiction … Poe and Lovecraft are the obvious influences in these richly atmospheric (and often funny) tales of introversion blossoming into obsession. ..[These stories] show Ligotti doing what he does best: turning the abstract matter of our unguarded dreaming moments into vivid and compelling nightmares.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Fox Atomic Comics accomplished what many though impossible: successfully translating the author’s work into a graphic novel…THE NIGHTMARE FACTORY lives up to its title, cleverly manufacturing disturbing dreams for discerning horror comic readers.”
—Rue Morgue magazine

“Deliciously bleak. B+”
—EW.com

“These twisted tales based on Thomas Ligotti’s stories come alive in the hands of Ben Templesmith and Michael Gaydos, and others. Retaining unique styles, Ligotti’s brand of psychological terror still permeates, oozing into your nightmares.”
—Wizard magazine

“[E]ntertaining from start to finish…These tales of terror exude waves of paranoia and pathos from every page…There isn’t a story in this book that doesn’t have the highest amount of professionalism added to it…a special compilation.”
—Ain’t It Cool News.com

“[I]f Fox Comics continue to put out fantastic titles like “The Nightmare Factory” they will be a force to be reckoned with…(A-).”
—Mania.com

“Beautifully, queasily rendered.”
—A.V. Club.com (The Onion)

“The artwork was superb across the board…if you’re a fan of Ligotti or the likes of Poe and Lovecraft, and you’re looking for something to curl up to this fall to get you ‘creep’ on, then I’d recommend picking THE NIGHTMARE FACTORY up and giving it a whirl.”
—Myjoblo.com

“[R]ich in psychological terror…The intriguing premises and the stylistic variety of the illustrations, from Michael Gaydos’ dreamy paintings to Ben Templesmith’s terrifying cartoons, make THE NIGHTMARE FACTORY a fine, creepy read.”
—City Link (Florida)

“Outstanding…moody and deeply disturbing…each of these four stories will elicit a deep visceral response in the reader.”
—FearZone.com

“Fox Atomic triumphs with this resplendent and disturbing graphic novel adaptation …With enthralling precision and gorgeous illustrations, Mr. Ligotti’s Gothic nightmares come to life on the visual plane in fever dreams that smolder on the page by means of adroit adaptation and artistic derring-do…pitch-perfect…Each of the four stories is magnificently adapted and illustrated, capturing the very essence of Mr. Ligotti’s dark visions. Famed writers and artists Joe Harris, Stuart Moore, Colleen Doran, Ben Templesmith, Ted McKeever and Michael Gaydos bring to Thomas Ligotti’s work a splendid dark synergy that will thrill fans of dark fiction. Mr. Ligotti brings additional depth to the collection with personal introductions to each tale. More than a graphic novel, this is an event! Don’t miss it!”
