“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.
