“A beautiful, unsettling, and ultimately touching story about connection, transformation, and the possibility of moving forward in life, despite the burden of an unresolved past.” * —Library Journal (starred review) *
“A grotesquely addictive, trypophobic nightmare epic.” * —ShelfAwareness (starred review) *
“Lemire’s interactions between the characters and dialogue are deftly crafted considering the strangeness of the story, displaying the personal, emotional weight each character is carrying and how this motivates how they deal with the bizarre. The art is strikingly muted, making effective use of darks and few colors, as well as black sound effect pages functioning as literary breaks. Lemire even makes use of the borders and the gutters of the pages, which featuring a fashionable yellow staining to mimic the pages degrading. At times moving and revolting, this is a wretchedly detailed story of loyalty, trauma, and living on the outside.” * —Booklist (starred review) *
“Lemire’s singular style, with its uncanny figures and warm, bleeding inks, is a visual delight. The result is a tightly woven monster tale shot through with melancholy.” * Publishers Weekly *
“Lemire fires on all cylinders to create an eerie masterpiece that entertains and unnerves in equal measure.” * Comic Book Resources *
“It’s a bizarre book but unquestionably memorable.” * ComicBook.com *
