I can't read this one on Kindle because it's a graphic novel and the print is tiny. I'll check it out from the library if it has it! I do love the art though so three stars so far.

Florence and the Machine has a song that says "My heart is like a haunted house / There's things in there that scratch about".
This book reminds me this lyrics.
"What lurks in the corners of the house originates in the corners of the mind."
This idea was already forgotten by me.
I read on digital so when I got to last- I mean back cover, I was happy to be on the (almost) same page with creators.
Also good to get there at the last pages cuz' with all its simplicity, the story pulls you into itself, makes you curious, feels nervous,,,
I loved the style. It's effortless or plain, at least in the matter of technique but every brush stroke is important when it comes to this style. Brush strokes what's makes the piece aesthetic and creates its own atmosphere.
The little cigarette detail is what I like to see in these kind of works (or any). Crows (and ravens) may be common gothic / horror art circles (gosh deviantart was the reason why I was so active in art once) but they still keeps their effects on me.
Wish I could find a way to let them out

This book was very unique, in both it’s setting, but in its style as well. It was almost like a picture book instead of a graphic novel. The feel of it was very atmospheric, like it felt creepy as I read it. While the book takes place in Sweden, it's a relatable story: not feeling wanted because of who/what you are/aren’t and how that trauma manifests itself– in this case through the symbols of the crows.
