I enjoyed the storytelling aspect of Harrow County. Generally with comics, the text is much more heavily weighted toward discourse, rather than narration. This was not the case here. There is much exploration of our protagonist's perceptions and feelings, which is interesting, and yet, it still lacked. I suppose I feel that the story failed to grip me at my core. I had a hard time truly feeling for any of the characters, which is surprising given how heavy the subject matter is.

What truly gave this four stars for me, and what will essentially keep me reading more, is the art. So much care is taken to create an ambiance that is at once cozy and eerie. Items which I would have had trouble imagining myself were perfectly crafted to be both beautiful and horrifying (a skin with no body; a body with no skin...).

The story is still young, and am plenty hopeful that it will develop into something I can get messy with. In the meantime, the art satisfies my ever persistent thirst for horror.
