This was easily one of the best horror graphic novels I've read in a long time! One thing about Cullen Bunn's work is that I always know I can count on it to be detailed and intriguing, and this was no exception. I'd definitely class this as horror, but I could easily see it going under dark fantasy, too, as it's got this lovely sort of fairytale-esque vibe to it with the whole rebirth of a witch, spectral companions, eerie minotaur demons in the forest ordeal it has going on.

On top of the story being fantastic (and Emmy being such a lovable main character with her healing tendencies and love for animals — I always enjoy the "healer witch" trope and this one's executed brilliantly), the artwork is so fascinating. It's all watercolor and alternates between muted tones and bright colors depending on the characters/scenery depicted. My favorite aspect was easily the haints in the forest cemetery, which are this brilliant orange and red layered over a black background that makes them jump right off the page in this unsettling, fiery way. I really just can't say enough good things about this volume and I'm already counting down the days until my library hold for volume 2 comes in!
