TW: Rape, Assault, Murder, Burning to death, murder of a child
Full disclosure, I'm not a huge fan of Stephen King's writing because he typically starts every sentence with a pronoun but I have enjoyed the stories. I figured I would give this graphic novel a chance when I saw it on NetGalley. Unfortunately, this book definitely wasn't for me. It's brutal and has a lot of triggers that are not for the faint of heart. The story itself was interesting but I fear that I need to read the actual book to understand really what was going on.
All in all, the graphic novel was okay. I will not continue on in the series nor do I have enough curiosity to pick up the book. I will say that the artwork is beautifully done and was one of the only reasons I kept reading.
