The concept was intriguing, the athmosphere was deliciously unsettling and the art was absolutely gorgeous. The artist and the colorist worked incredibly well together.
I really enjoyed the first half. It took time to establish the world and set the mood.
Unfortunately, the ending felt like reading a brief summary of the events. I wanted it to slow down.

LGBT folk horror at its finest, takes place in the 1990's and has a very "old school vertigo comics" vibe. Surreal but not hokey.
