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.
