I'm glad I chose to stick with it despite the pacing being unfortunately slow for the first 3 issues or so (and then speeding up uncomfortably in the very last one). This is a really disturbing story, but it's also an interesting, thoughtful one, touching on a number of my favorite tropes. I won't get into detail about those, since it would mean spoilers, but the twists laid out in the second half of the story were really satisfying. The characters really grabbed my attention, and the friendship between the two leads was great. I was also very much intrigued by the creepy, claustrophobic setting. Maybe next year for Halloween I'll run a one-shot set in Shudder-to-Think for my TTRPG group.
