This is the best horror graphic novel I’ve ever read. The storyline is brilliant and the artwork is top of the line. Go hug your pets!

I picked this up specifically for the 'View From the Hill' comic, which I've seen on the internet many times but never been able to find in person. It's one of the coolest horror ideas I've seen - so when I saw this complication I had to have it.

Each strip is only short but they all pack a punch. Nearly all of them have a good chunk of action and paranormal elements, whether that's vampires, invisible monsters killing everything in sight, or witches, and then they have emotional distress piled on too. If they weren't making you want to check on your family, they were making you think about whether we're split from our friends after death. Absolutely none of them ended on an optimistic note - which is fine! They're horror stories and I'd have been shocked if they did.

I really want to pick up the next volume now just to make sure all the pets make it out of this storyline okay.
