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.

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
