FIVE HUNDRED STARS. Dark, moving, and always grounded in the reality of loss. About the importance of family, and knowing when to let go.

This graphic novel is an incredibly quick read. Based on its thickness, I thought I'd need to split it between this afternoon and tomorrow, but I read it in under an hour. The text is sparse, so the story relies quite a bit on the visuals to carry tone and action. However, there would occasionally be panels that seemed to be missing something or were lacking in fully conveying action. I feel like internal narrative boxes could have rescued this occasional hiccup. I still loved the artwork and felt like the bold lines and deep shading created a great atmosphere that was super conducive to telling the story of a girl going through so much loss and uncertainty yet finding hope in unlikely places.

For fans of: The Tribe by Bari Wood, The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle, Infidel by Pornsak Pichetshote

Probably the best horror graphic novel I've ever read! It comes from a publishing company and creators I've never heard of, and it's pretty nearly flawless.

A good black horror graphic novel! The art was really well done (and definitely scary at some points)

The story was also really well done, unsettling, and heartwarming by the end
