I backed the kickstarter for this and I am super glad I did.
The comics are beautiful, they all have beautiful artwork and I love all the variances in witchy vibes.
My favourites from this are Wicked Creatures, Lily of the Valley, Linen Leeks and Blood and Wytch Shyt. I think Wytch Shyt is my most favourite and I totally want more xD

Some of the most beautiful and poetic writing.
I will not lay down while there are still hot coals in my belly and sparks on my tongue.
One of the best things about analogies is the breadth of the diversity they can contain. Check out these wonderful stories with different voices and different art.

This anthology was beautiful! I loved the coordination on the color palette. It was extremely pleasing on the eyes, and I loved all the artists and drawings. I didn't like all the stories equally, but there is definitely something in there for everyone!
My favorites of the bunch were "There are Things that Hide in the Shadows" and "Wicked Creatures", especially the latter! They had really cool and unique stories, and I love me some drama.
I got this comic from Kickstarter, by the way, so I definitely recommend those looking for some good comic anthologies, especially sci-fi and/or LGBT+ ones, to go support projects there!

I keep giving anthologies a chance, but they don't tend to be my thing. Often the short stories are too short and remain too much on the surface for my taste. Especially in this collection, I feel that the creators weren't given enough space.
The book is very nicely made though.
I liked 5 out of the 11 stories, and even then, most of them didn't have that much substance. These are the ones I liked:
★ Shift:
Almost like an illustrated poem. Visually stunning and lovely to see the transformations.
★ Café Creep:
Baker who works in a café is scared to ask out a cute customer. Sweet! Cute!
★ There Are Things That Hide In The Shadows:
A little too short, but it had interesting ideas. It felt like a cool start to a larger story, with that story beinga sitcom about a married couple and their demon housemate.
★ Excerpts From The Maleus Maleficarium:
Exactly what the title says, with very beautiful illustrations that elevate the text.
★ Wicked Creatures:
Best story from this collection. Jess Pollard really crafts a world that feels like it expands beyond the confines of the story. Somehow they made the main character feel like a complex person and they needed only 12 pages to do it.
Read for the Magical Readathon: History of Magic (book featuring witches/wizards)
