Intrigued to continue reading the story in graphic format. Little to be desired in my opinion for the graphics though. Everyone looks so rough.

I watched the Netflix adaptation of this and really enjoyed it. Hence my interest in the comic. I can't say I was disappointed! Admittedly, the comic is much more graphic than the show so that was a bit of a surprise but once I got used to that, I really enjoyed the creepy crawlies this novel gave me. Usually I wouldn't go for the horror genre but this was a lot of fun. Its making me rethink the distate I thought I had for the genre. I would give massive trigger warnings for death and violence. If those things are difficult for you, this is not for you at all.

The mystery of the keys, Key House, and the kids’ family history is definitely compelling. But the darkness that this family must live through is a little too much for me. The writing almost gets edgelordy at times especially with Ty. I mean just look at how many content warnings I had to put on this review! Also, while there is at least a little growth amongst the characters, their growth is perhaps in the exact wrong direction in that their trauma that haunts them is not only validated but is deepened as more terrible things keep happening. Bode is by far my favorite character as he’s the story’s only sense of innocence and curiosity.
I understand that this is a horror/mystery, but long story short is that everyone in this comic desperately needs therapy.

I think this has cemented that horror is just not the genre for me.
