Something is Killing the Children, Vol. 1
by James Tynion IV
Are you afraid of the dark but make it actually fucking terrifying.
The title alone drew me into this novel but once I saw that James Tynion IV was writing it under Boom!, I was sold.
I love me some good horror, no matter the medium, but there’s something about horror comics that are especially terrifying. The right artist can keep me up at night, and this is definitely one of those times. From the color to the gore to the atmosphere, I had to read this with the lights on.
Central to this story are Daniel, the sole survivor of the most recent child massacre, and Erica Slaughter, here to kill what’s killing the children. The two of them are working through some shit and it’s the worst-best pairing. Tynion spends time setting up the universe but not the motivations of any of the characters, leaving us with questions but not confusion. There are Stranger Things and It call backs, for sure.
The Supernatural fan in me, combined with my childhood fav Are You Afraid of the Dark, loved everything about this graphic novel and I can’t wait to see what happens in volume 2.
