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.

I hope there's more. If that's the end, it wasn't satisfying enough. I get what the series is saying and it's smart and so real, but please let there be more!!

This comic continues to get more and more interesting. I wonder what will happen to this family and how the dynamic will further change the involvement in the child.
