This adventurous, silent graphic novel demonstrates the solid strength of this young cartoonist's storytelling ability. Whether plunging into the watery depths of a sinkhole that has obviously swallowed part of a town or entering the uncertain hidden corridors of the house, every turn is captured with intensity by Simmons' scratchy pen. Page composition and panel arrangements are masterfully coordinated to reflect the characters' increasingly claustrophobic panic as the story reaches its crescendo, and to cause a similar and palpable reaction in the reader. House is Josh Simmons' first full-length graphic novel after years of honing his craft on the humorous, underground comic series Happy, and it is a visual and formal tour de force that proclaims Simmons a major cartooning talent of the new century.

Shelley and her son Luke are recovering from a tragic life event and are making their new home in Bristol Pines, MA., a boutique ski village in the mountains above the hustle and bustle of Boston. Luke is a star soccer player and a good student who is finding his way in a new school and new community while Shelley is working hard to fulfill a life-long dream of owning and operating an art gallery. Alec is a divorced father of precocious twin girls, Olivia and Mia, who generally have different viewpoints on most things. He coaches baseball and has three history classes, one of which is Art History, not his strong suit. He meets Shelley while she prepares the new gallery space and strikes up a deal whereby she helps him with lesson plans, and he gives her insight into how the gallery operated when his grandparents owned it. Other interesting characters are integral to the story moving forward, complete with young love, coming of age, gallery preparation, and strong community support.
Meticulous, strange, and hauntingly beautiful, this evocative and enigmatic book will ensure the inquisitive reader a spleenful of cerebral serenity that will take exposure to vast quantities of mediocrity to dispel. "The Squirrel Machine is not for the faint of heart, and features quite disturbing and grotesque imagery - H. R. Giger has nothing on Rickheit's psychosexual nightmares... Existing on the crossroad of creativity and madness, The Squirrel Machine is a nightmare in a series of gristly tableaus... An exploration of an artist's mind, it uncovers the obscene, the things that were never meant to be brought to light." - Ao Meng, The Daily Texan
