reeling from the unexpected suicide of their friend, sloane, elliott, cameron, and ana just want to make it through the rest of high school. cult activity in their town links them to a series of murders, though, and now they’re determined to take down the murderer, though their friendship gets rocky along the way.
this is such a great book for any kid from the midwest who’s ever wanted more. my town may not have had a cult, but i related to the feeling of feeling trapped that was present in the main characters. i enjoyed how this story blended real-life horrors with supernatural horrors to show the effects something like a cult can have on a whole community. i also really enjoyed the art style and colors chosen.
0This book hit so close to home in a lot of ways as a cult survivor even beyond the moments of supernatural horror. A one shot graphic novel that packs a helluva punch with great art, down to earth characters, clever worldbuilding, and good color theory.
