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.

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.

This would have gotten four stars except some of the panels are kind of confusing if they should be read cross page or top down.
