A short, nasty urban horror story with a strong central hook. A legend about a figure who punishes those who answer her question is the kind of simple premise that sticks.The art is the draw. The scenes are tight and unsettling, and the body horror lands because the book is confident about its pacing. Each volume includes side-story chapters, which give the series a bit of extra range beyond the main thread.The downside is that it is very dark. The gore is a real factor, and the cruelty may be too much for some readers. The characters are sketched in quickly, so the emotional impact depends on the tension more than on personal depth.If you enjoy short, mean horror with a folklore flavour, this is worth reading. It is grim and efficient. Expect a bleak tone, strong images and a story that wastes no time getting under your skin.
