Not a complete 5 stars, because the writing style was a little clunky and sometimes it was easy to forget it was meant to be in-verse. But this was beautiful!! I think it really captured the feeling of connecting with the otherworldly in a queer way. Mothman was both a way for Noah to connect with his dead friend, and also try to understand his own gender better, and I thought both of those things were written well. 

At one point in the story, you got to see the notes of Noah’s friends as he was searching for Mothman, and I thought that was really cool and was placed in the right point in the story, albeit a bit unexpected. 

The integration of multimedia was unexpected but really added to the story! The “photographs” added to the atmosphere, and the illustrations were a nice balance between innocent and creepy. 

I think this deserves the hype.
