NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the New York Times bestselling author and creator of the hit MrBallen Podcast and YouTube channel, a vividly illustrated graphic novel featuring nine spine-chilling stories—based on real events—of the horror that lurks within the unknown In MrBallen Presents: Where Nightmares Live, John Allen, known popularly as “MrBallen,” is back with another heart-stopping collection of strange and mysterious stories exploring terrors that lie just beyond our comprehension. From skin-melting encounters in Brazil to a ghost that stalks the English countryside to a bell ringing deep in the Arizona wilderness, MrBallen’s spine-chilling tales—four of which are exclusive to this graphic novel—span multiple centuries and expose bizarre, terrifying, and utterly unforgettable experiences of the unnatural world. Compellingly creepy, deeply researched, and based on unsettling real events, MrBallen Presents: Where Nightmares Live proves that sometimes our deepest fears are about the things we cannot see. In collaboration with New York Times bestselling graphic novelist Robert Venditti and acclaimed comic book artist Andrea Mutti, this is Allen’s most frightening collection yet. Welcome.

  • Absolutely worth every penny!!! (even if it isn't signed)
Format: Paperback
I ordered this book the moment the pre-order was announced on Mr. Ballen's YouTube channel. This man is THE BEST story teller EVER, and his graphic novels are AMAZING!!! I bought his first one for myself for Christmas and this one for my birthday. I hope he keeps coming out with more books, I will buy them ALL!!! I am currently laid up in bed with a BADLY broken leg and ankle and this book is helping me to pass the time. The artwork is rich and really brings the stories to life in a way that is just...WOW!!! 🤯 I wish I had words to tell you how great this book is. But, if you are a Mr. Ballen fan then you already know😊❤️ I ordered a signed copy, but somehow my order got cancelled last minute and I guess all the signed copies are gone, because when I reordered it the option to get a signed copy was gone...my heart is broken 💔 but at least I got a copy, even if it isn't signed. ... show more

  • MrBallen 2nd book as good as the first!
Format: Hardcover
My second MrBallen graphic novel and it’s just as amazing as his first. If you are a current Ballen fan, or if you have never heard of this great storyteller of “the strange, dark, and mysterious “ you will not be disappointed with this book. The book is a fast read because it’s so fascinating, crazy good, and hard to believe that the stories are true! Some are so bizarre that it will leave you scratching your head in wonder. The illustration are not some of my favorite works, but I do believe that it adds to the overall experience of the stories. There is a third graphic novel coming out September 2026 and like his first and second, I’m already on the preorder list to get my copy when it’s release. So I hope that sharing my enthusiasm about how good his books are will sway you to check them all out. He does any amazing job of making the reader feel like they’re right there in the story. ... show more

  • Snuggle in because you won’t put it down. Mr. Ballen never disappoints!
Format: Hardcover
Time to get cozy, and get ready for chills! I feel like a kid in a candy store, this book does not disappoint. It even smells good. I am a bibliophile through and through, and one thing that has been tackled in many different ways, since the dawn of cinema, is: can you bring to life what is written on the pages, and the opposite can be asked, can you bring that panache, that sparky, sweet swagger technique that only Mr. Ballen has in his story telling technique? The answer is unequivocally, yes, absolutely, and this second graphic novel captures the essence of Mr. Ballen’s storytelling beautifully. The only thing that the novel is missing is John B. Allen’s hand gestures as he tells the story, which is a fan favorite, but I promise you, that will be the last thing on your mind as soon as you start to peruse the pages of this graphic novel. For me personally, being one of those people that has seen every video on his YouTube channel probably twice, I flipped through the pages letting the sent waif in my face, as I breathed in one of my favorite smells, I land on a page that just from the beautiful illustrations, I can tell that this is The Bell story. My eyes find the caption bubble, and I’m transported to a dark rainy afternoon, where I am all alone except for a fetid beaver carcass that is hanging from a tree, and I get the chill and the trill together of my love of books, actual in my hand, hard cover books as well as the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format. The only thing that I didn’t see was a new way to torture the 👍 button. So, the next time you find yourself alone in an awkward silence with the review button, offer to set them up on a blind date with the Amazon follow button and the 👍 button at the same time and same restaurant. ‼️ ... show more

  • Mr. Ballen strikes again!
Format: Hardcover
Another guilty pleasure from Mr. Ballen. I love the way this guy tells stories AND the stories he finds and tells. This second volume is as obsessively absorbing at the first. I hope he keeps them coming!

  • Love the strange & mysterious?
Format: Hardcover
What can I say, this is MrBallen's 2nd graphic stories book, & I also have his 1st graphic stories book. I was so impressed with John's 1st book, that I pre-ordered his 2nd one. He is such a great storyteller and the artwork is fantastic at giving you a visual of his stories. John's YouTube channels are so much fun to watch, but having his stories on paper in book form is awesome! Take it with you camping, to read at your nightly campfire "scary story time"! Well made & sturdy & well priced. I must stop my review here, because it is late & dark outside.... so I must get out my copy and read another story. Nighty night "strange and mysterious" people! ... show more

  • Scary yet entraining, addictive.
Format: Hardcover
I love the art in the book the way it looks like a movie playing out in my head. The stories are scary yet mysterious definitely strange. But that’s what Mr.Ballen is about. I have both of his books and love them both. Been a follower of his since 2020. Fan forever.

  • Better than the first
Format: Hardcover
The art work is beautifully done. The story telling is just as good as listening to Mr Ballen online I think it's better then the first one more creepy for sure. As I read I can hear Mr Ballen's voice tell the story. My husband got it for me for Christmas and I just love it can't wait to read all the stories. This would make a great gift for all the fans of the Strange Dark and Mysterious! ... show more
