Again, Sala's artwork is right up my alley, but his writing is not quite at the same level. And this is a very surreal story, which is something I also like, although I feel that even surrealism needs to have some sort of logical underpinning, even if it is only logical in the world of the story. There are some things here that I'm not sure even the author knew the answers to. I don't know, I'm not sure that it matters. Definitely recommend for the artwork!

I didn't find this creepy at all, just very silly. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I really loved the art style, but I couldn’t connect with the story, and found it confusing and boring. There was also a sexual assault mentioned that felt unnecessary to the story.
This just didn’t make any sense, and I didn’t understand anything that happened, or why I was supposed to care. I also did not find it creepy or chilling, just cringe. This was not for me. I would recommend Emily Carroll’s Through the Woods if you’re looking for a creepy graphic novel that makes sense.

Spoiler
Delphine’s evil stepmother is uber-religious and is apparently on a mission from God to purify her step daughter by LITERALLY shoving crosses inside of her "sacred door fouled by the keys of so many men." Fucking GROSS DUDE. And what was the reason for this!?This just didn’t make any sense, and I didn’t understand anything that happened, or why I was supposed to care. I also did not find it creepy or chilling, just cringe. This was not for me. I would recommend Emily Carroll’s Through the Woods if you’re looking for a creepy graphic novel that makes sense.
