This truly dark sleeping beauty retelling is a must read especially during spooky season. The illustrations are creepy & stunning. The story is strange and bizarre this is definitely a comic that will leave you feeling uncomfortable.
I found it to be a hypnotic read that like a slow crash you can’t look away from. The story looks at women who have been infected by sleeping illness and during the volume these women wake up but are forever changed.
The multiple POVs in the comic also keeps the pacing fast and tension high.
To me this is far more horror graphic novel than traditional mystery.
