If you like creepy, gory reads- here's one for you! It's a take on the Winchester Mansion story. I saw the movie last month, so I thought this might be eerie enough to grab my attention. The artwork is stunning and disturbing. The story is dark and, at times, heartbreaking. This is a pick for me⭐⭐⭐

I am totally obsessed with the story of Sarah Winchester and her crazy house so I stepped way outside of my comfort zone to give this graphic novel a try. I enjoyed the story. The level of gore? Not so much.

There's some neat visual language happening in this comic to represent guilt (the red worm-like thingies at left follow our characters everywhere as their blood debt, and play into the climax in spectacular fashion). The project overall isn't quite as ambitious as I think it could have been. The romantic subplot, for example, is there but doesn't really do anything. It's a unique little read but won't be satisfying to everyone.

The Winchester Mystery house story is a great subject for a horror comic. That said, I think the story itself could've been framed a lot better. 👻

Kalalalatja Is that the cover? It is pretty creepy 😳😳 8y
