A review by paperbackstacks
Wytches, Volume 1 by Scott Snyder
2.75
I'm torn on how to rate this graphic novel because I think this really comes down to personal preference for me!
After reading this, I think I've realized that I really don't get on with visual horror stories (movies or graphic novels). This graphic novel is *incredibly* creepy and horrifying, so if you're a fan of that, then I would say give it a go!
Aside from my own genre qualms, the story itself is engaging and I did appreciate the the exploration of mental health themes (anxiety and addiction) as well as the father/daughter relationship bonding.
There are some instances of time jumping in the narrative that can get a a tad confusing, though. This book has a really interesting, and honestly skin crawling, take on witches, which I think I would have appreciated more if I wasn't having nightmares about them.
There is a strong suicide content warning for this book, just a heads up!
