This book is like a bandage on the heart, it's warm, cozy, and feels like a safe space to relax for a moment.
The story is short and doesn’t go through any major conflict; it’s very simple. But the way the story is told, how all the characters are wonderful and expressive, is just beautiful.
The colors she uses, the drawings, the space ,everything is wonderful, like a really well-made comic.
I feel the urge to read more stories about Garlic, who has such a unique personality.
Bree Paulsen does a great job with the illustrations, the colors, the perspectives, everything. This book feels perfect if you're looking for a cozy read

It was love at first page. I'm in love with this cute little graphic novel. Love the story, love the idea, love the art, love that it represents the anxious ones (hi it's me.) So cozy. So heartwarming. It's my new favorite.

Made me smile. It’s about anthropomorphic garlic meeting a vampire—it’s not that deep.

5 stars to both Garlic and the Vampire & Garlic and the Witch, two of the cutest graphic novels I’ve read this year.
