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.
