I found out about this book through Northern Plunder (a great blogger) and decided it was time to read it. This book tells us about a girl who is the reincarnation/the reborn witch that was burned 18 years ago. We see that she unknowingly has powers, and from there things just get twisty and turny. One night she has to flee. It got really exciting and OMG what is going to happen. I quite liked the story. The ending to this first volume was pretty good, I am quite curious about that lady that we see at the end. Plus, what kind of powers does Emmy have more? We see a few of them, but I wonder what else she can do. I did find it WTF that she took that thing with her. NOPE.
I especially loved the short stories by the author and the very short stories about Harrow Country. Those I think I looked forward to the most. Don't get me wrong, Emmy's life is interesting, but the other things were just more what I liked.
The art was pretty OK.
I will definitely try another volume of this one. Not sure when though. For now I got some other books to read. :)

Been wanting to get into this for a while, and I'm so glad I have! Dark, bloody, and doing something original. A great introduction to the world of Harrow County, and I can't wait to see what happens next (and thankfully I already have volume 2, so I don't have to).

Unnerving. Odd. Weird. Properly Weird. Gothic to a T. I began to appreciate Bunn and his work with The Sixth Gun. His handling of plot and character won me over. Teaming with Tyler Crook though...stroke of genius. Crook's story telling elevates the moody work that Bunn lays out. The watercoloring add a level of grime to the stories in this volume that give it more weight. I do enjoy horror in comic form. I missed it for too long. I am glad that Bunn and Crook are making it scream once more.

The intuitiveness of beings outside of humanity is so well utilized here. Like, the way they resolved the “fake-ally” plot in just two issues because, as a witch, our protagonist can just “smell” bs… thrilling.
