I am deeply and unquestionably freaking disturbed by this book but I just couldn’t stop reading it. The unsettling art and sinister plot are so compelling! Seiichi’s mother just took things up a notch by controlling almost every aspect of his life. While absolutely disturbing, this story is actually really sad: an emotionally abusive mother whose life purpose revolves around her son and a son who can’t break away from her mother’s reins and hideous crime. Seiichi’s just in 8th grade and the amount of trauma he’s subjected to just breaks my heart because I can see how he’s also spiraling into madness.

I don't know if putting them under graphic is the best way to label them, but Blood on the Tracks is going to hit some people in the face if they're not prepared.maeveroyal's review against another edition
