And the wytches are not the worst part... the humans... they are the scary ones. The idea that you can offer someone to these beings just so you can get something that you want... that's the terrifying part.
I really enjoyed this book. The art is beautiful and the story is really powerful and full of love. A father who does everything he can to protect his daughter... even if it takes the ultimate sacrifice.
Can't wait to read more of Snyder's stories.

After reading this, I think I've realized that I really don't get on with visual horror stories (movies or graphic novels). This graphic novel is *incredibly* creepy and horrifying, so if you're a fan of that, then I would say give it a go!
Aside from my own genre qualms, the story itself is engaging and I did appreciate the the exploration of mental health themes (anxiety and addiction) as well as the father/daughter relationship bonding.
There are some instances of time jumping in the narrative that can get a a tad confusing, though. This book has a really interesting, and honestly skin crawling, take on witches, which I think I would have appreciated more if I wasn't having nightmares about them.
There is a strong suicide content warning for this book, just a heads up!
