The concept was intriguing, the athmosphere was deliciously unsettling and the art was absolutely gorgeous. The artist and the colorist worked incredibly well together.
I really enjoyed the first half. It took time to establish the world and set the mood.
Unfortunately, the ending felt like reading a brief summary of the events. I wanted it to slow down.

Moderate: Pedophilia
Minor: Transphobia and Homophobia
Themes of sexual assault are extremely prevalent the entire plot, but are never explicitly stated, and exist more within the realm of Southern Gothic metaphor.
