It's doing Freud. It's doing No Exit. It's putting queer characters on screen but only as predators. It is entirely unclear who the reader is supposed to root for or what they are supposed to take away.

The art is fine. The setting is fine.

One of those stories that sticks with you after reading it. Haunting and atmospheric, The Abaddon has the dreamlike quality of the best psychological horror. At turns reminiscent of Silent Hill: The Room, and the delirium-fuelled worlds of David Lynch and Guy Maddin, The Abaddon takes a somewhat familiar plot and ends with an understated whimper that is both narratively satisfying and disturbing.
