 I think the premise has potential, and the art is great, but the shortness of it doesn't allow the themes to really be explored much, unfortunately.

A disturbing little story about postpartum depression. It was almost too short because it ended so abruptly.

Definitely a fun, quick read. I think the story was okay— a few people mentioned how it reminded them of The Yellow Wallpaper and I absolutely agree. I think the horror could have been a bit more prevalent, but at the same time it’s a very short comic and for what it is it’s paced incredibly well. The art was also stunning, and the paneling/sequential storytelling displayed was fantastic. Very atmospheric book, and it does a good job of making you feel claustrophobic and closed in like the main protagonist. I’m excited to see the future stories this cartoonist tells

This was a quick read that I was able to find on Scribd. It left me feeling really underwhelmed with what I was promised. It has such beautiful art but not a satisfying resolution.
