Interesting idea, but not really good yet. Will give at least the next volume a try as well.

Gory and mysterious, an excellent graphic novel for adults. Gave me big Stranger Things-meets-Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibes and I absolutely loved it. The art is fantastic and I can’t  wait to continue the series. A nice quick read for Halloween that ended on a cliffhanger.

What a solid first volume. 
Set the foundations for an interesting concept. 
I like the art style and the storyline so far has me keen to pick up the next volume.
