Pretty light on details and not much is revealed about monsters, the monster hunter, the person who might be her handler, or this town where kids are getting murdered and stolen. Some gore, bad adult choices, and plenty of cursing.

Really great mystery so far, I enjoy the art style a lot. Even in still frames there's a sense of motion. This story got me to say "what the fuck!" out loud multiple times. I'm intrigued by basically everything. The grief was palpable, everyone is acting in a fucked up way but you get it because this entire town is going through a mass trauma together. Every character in this story is broken in some way.

I don't usually read very fast, but I read this during basically all of my very little free time. 

I think it probably goes without saying because of the title, but to be clear: this is about children being slaughtered. It is shown in graphic detail. If you can't handle seeing a half-alive dismembered child, which is super understandable, then this story is not for you. It's not that it's as realistic as a movie, that's obviously not possible. It's just really, really gruesome. I have a strong stomach and I had a hard time with this, but it was worth it.

It's so rare you read horror stories, especially with monsters, that are original with unique ideas, and art that is both scary and beautiful. This hits every single box 💯✅️

This book was my introduction to a series I absolutely love. Something Is Killing the Children definitely isn't a graphic novel for the faint of heart with it's pretty graphic depictions of supernatural & paranormal violence, fear, and monsters killing people. However, I still recommend it if you're into the monster of the week type supernatural tv shows and such. This would be an entirely awesome premise for a tv show in my opinion. The side characters are interesting, and have their own personalities and stories that definitely draw you in, but the main character, Erica, who really shines. With her mysterious past and the information we're slowly introduced to regarding it, and the House of Slaughter, this story does tension and mystery really well to add to that feeling of the spooktacular. And I have to add that the illustration is phenomenal. The colors used really sell that spooky horror vibe, and are somehow still beautiful. So, yeah, if you're looking for a graphic novel for the spooky months? This is it. Though definitely check the content warnings, folks.
