The Dreaming is a lite horror manga. Set in an extremely remote Australian bush area, a set of twins begin attending a boarding school. Girls get abducted, people disappear or change into someone else, and no one can really figure out what is going on. Who or what is wrecking havoc on this school? You will have to read on to see how all it plays out.
The artwork is bit bad at all; I think it kind of has a slight American comic feel to it even though the artist is from Australia. While not very scary (which is good because I don't like to read things that scare me), the novel turns out to be a page turner to find out what exactly is going on at this school.
It was missing a wow factor and any sort of other things like comedy or romance to punch it up in my opinion, therefore I give it a solid 3 stars since it was by no means a bad read but not exciting.

I give it 4.5 stars for a manga/graphic novel.

Overall: mysterious, suspenseful, enchanting. This 3-book graphic novel collection had lots of fun twists and turns. It was delightfully creepy and darker than I expected! I enjoyed the almost entirely female cast and how so many elements of the horror genre were intertwined in this story.

Creepy gothic manga set in Australia. Twin girls get shipped off to stay with their aunt at a remote boarding school, where strange disappearances are becoming too commonplace. I probably shouldn't have read this one after dark.
