I struggle to review books like this. I feel like people that need this book right now, will benefit from it. But it won't be for everyone. It's not a book you should read in one sitting. It is a book you pick up when you are feeling not that great.
I've been following Worry Lines for a while now and their comics have always resonated with me. Do I recommend it? Yes. Because we all struggle sometimes and this book is just a reminder that you are not alone in feeling like crap.

I've been following Adam Ellis for years. I enjoy his style and humor. His horror comics always creep me out so, of course, I had to snag this collection! I was not disappointed. The art was top tier, the stories - both a mix of new stories and classics. It's great to watch Adam step away from his style in some of the comics too.
This won't be for everyone. But I did love it.

The ending kind of ruined it for me. Still a pretty decent and quick read.
