The Closet is a horror graphic novel by James Tynion IV, first published on the 18th of October, 2022. This was the first graphic novel I read. I bought The Closet thinking it was just a horror book, not realising it was a graphic novel, so it was a fun new experience.
If you enjoy creepy stories or have ever seen monsters in the dark but no one ever believed you, this story plays out that reality.
The plot was good. I can’t determine if I wanted more story or focus on the otherworldly-ness.
The graphics were good. The art style does give off this simple yet ‘scratchy’ horror vibes like reading or looking at drawings from someone who couldn’t describe their horrors in words, so they used graphics.
There wasn’t a huge impact. It was a fun wee story that let me enter the world of graphic novels. As I said, I think I was looking for more horror than what there was.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to get into Graphic Novels and likes horror and creepypastas. It does give off the old creepypasta vibes.

Sometimes you need friends to rip the band off and tell you when you messing up. Messing up in any way of your life. However, you need to be honest with yourself and with your friends. Understanding that running away from your problems will not remove the problem. I am starting to think that the monster is a metaphor for something more insidious and that can impact the child lifelong.

Still waiting for the point. The parents need to stop being so self involved.
