Brilliantly constructed, but read with caution. It’s very violent with significant gore. The horror aspect should be obvious from the title alone, but it’s more horror and tragedy than frightening. One of the main antagonists being a teenager is disconcerting though it fits the plot and characterization. He’s very much a tragedy all on his own.

A pesar de que la trama es extraña y compleja este cómic te engancha y exige del lector que preste atención. Si que es cierto que esperaba que me diera más miedo durante todo el rato. Aun así, el final te deja en vilo y te pide seguir leyendo. Así que no puedo esperar a leer más.

This is a classic now in the comic world. I wanted to read it because I knew it was based on Lofcraft world and my friends love the author and the comic world, so I wanted to explore this comic better. I liked it and enjoyed...and I love that the things are not explained to the reader...you have the puzzle and you have to put the pieces together.
It is true that I wanted to be more scared but I want to read more.

“Kids always think they're coming into a story at the beginning, when usually they're coming in at the end.”
I watched the Netflix adaptation of this and really enjoyed it. Hence my interest in the comic. I can't say I was disappointed! Admittedly, the comic is much more graphic than the show so that was a bit of a surprise but once I got used to that, I really enjoyed the creepy crawlies this novel gave me. Usually I wouldn't go for the horror genre but this was a lot of fun. Its making me rethink the distate I thought I had for the genre. I would give massive trigger warnings for death and violence. If those things are difficult for you, this is not for you at all.
