Always a fan of epistolary style, particularly here with the use of handwritten entries and drawings. Adds a great personable touch that really helps to convey the protagonist's emotions and rapid decline.

Took a little bit to get into it, but once the vampire stuff started, it was worth the build up. The doodles are nice, and the handwriting, though it did seem like more than one hand actually did the writing. There were a few misspellings in the text, but it fit the idea of a personal journal, so they pleased me.

Overall, a cool concept and executed better than I thought when I started reading. I wish there was a sequel, but then, would that be in a journal, too?

It made me smile when the protagonist was concerned his girlfriend wasn't into Nine Inch Nails. Hurray '90s.
