Very interesting book. I'm eager to read the rest of the series. Erica is a very interesting character shrouded in mystery. James is a boy desperate to save his town, and I'm curious to see how he develops through the books. The art is well done, though in the beginning I got the boys confused and by the end I still got two of the adult males confused.

Definitely recommend to anyone who likes spooky things.

I was given a digital ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

2023 - 365 Days of Horror

Day 150: It’s Tynion so that alone rates a four ⭐️. I like, though, how this is still listed as a “limited series” when issue 30 was just published. Don’t know why I waited so long to start it but I’ll at least finish the first arc/trade this week.

I like the art style but I didn't love the story. I'm not really big on horror but I loved Horrorstor so thought I would give this a try. It's probably not for me personally but I still liked it. 4

I liked it.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I requested this comic because I was interested in trying the genre since I'm not too familiar with comics based around topics like these. However I thought it was super interesting !
I really enjoyed the art style and the main characters. They weren't dull or annoying which is always a huge bummer when it comes to books/comics with annoying characters.

I really enjoyed the general plot line and thought the story had some very strong aspects to it, which made it very interesting to read!
I did hope for less of a stretch at some points however that's just a minor detail.

Would definitely recommend this comic!

Während ich wie auf Kohlen auf den nächsten Band warte, hier eine zusammenfassende Rezension für alle Bände:
• Erica sieht genauso aus, wie ich mit Anfang 20 aussah, und das ist extra gruselig.
• Ich hatte allerdings keine fesche Zähne-Maske.
• Oder ein Schwert.
• Monster. Monster überall.
• Trotz des Titels war ich überrascht, wie blutig die Seiten sind.
• Nur Kinder können die Monster sehen. Das ist die gruseligste Art von Monstern, okay.
• Vor allem, weil sie Erwachsene immer noch verletzen können, höhö.
• Die Idee mit den Kuscheltieren ist *chefs kiss*
• Wenn ihr keine Ahnung habt, wovon ich rede, aber jetzt neugierig geworden seid, was es mit den Kuscheltieren auf sich hat, müsst ihr wohl leider Something is Killing the Children lesen.
• Hint: Es hat was mit Monstern zu tun.
• Die übrigens zu Leben beginnen, weil Kinder sie sich vorstellen.
• Was auch gruselig ist.
