You can't fault this book on being atmospheric and chilling. The drawings are done in charcoal, with no colours, which makes it so creepy.
however, I wasn't 100% able to follow the plot. The language was rich and dark, but I struggled to figure out what was actually happening.
This is the second time I've read a classic in the form of a graphic novel and I think it's a great way to get into them. But this one was a little to vague for me.
