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.

Because this was such a fast read and I tried not to focus too much on the gore, I'm shockingly looking forward to reading the rest of these.

*4.5*
LOVED! Such a good comic/graphic novel (I honestly barely know the difference lmao). I’m so looking forward to reading the rest of the series. It’s very spooky and mysterious. This is a fast paced story about a small town where kids have begun going missing in odd and gruesome circumstances. There is currently one survivor who meets a mysterious young woman named Erica Slaughter (umm best last name ever) who says she can help stop these murders/abductions. I can tell this is the start of what will be an incredible adventure and a long and gruesome fight to survive and save the town and it’s kids.
I don’t really suggest this for kids under 12(ish), if not older.

*content warnings*
Murder, death of a child, abduction/missing children, gun violence, image of a dead animal, visual gore, mild cursing.
I may have missed some that may be triggering to you, read at your own risk and research/read other reviews and content warnings
