This story is dark and oh so interesting, my friends. If you like a good horror-meets-fantasy story then definitely give them a go.

The plot line of this series is SUPERB. It’s so full of depth and intrigue that you get to experience that total submersion feeling.
I love the premise of a house built on mystery and danger that just so happens to give you the keys to even more mystery and danger. Such a unique story. My only critique is that I would have liked to have been completely caught of guard my some surprising plot twist, that would have really made the whole story perfect.

….How does one critique or comment on the writing of a graphic novel?? *strokes chin with thumb and index finger* I’m honestly not sure since most of the “writing” occurs in speech bubbles and such. It’s hard to say much about the writing by itself, but perhaps the speech bubbles, art/drawing, and the plot can be commented on together?? (If you have a recommendation on this, please share your methods.) I did not feel like these three elements left me wanting or confused about what was going on in this story. So In a way, I guess that means the “writing” was good? Yes. I’m going to go with that. *nods head once* The artwork/drawing is good, but has a gritty, unpolished feel to it. Which, upon reflection, works really well with the story.

The only reason I didn’t give them a five star rating was because there are little things that I wish were just a tad different. That, and I usually don’t give out five star ratings unless I feel an obsessive love for the book receiving said rating. I love these books, but not in an obsessive kinda way.… (más)
