I really enjoyed this comic. It was dark and unexpected. It had that Adam’s Family vibe, everyone is just a little bit off, they don’t fit in with regular society, but they are pretty awesome. This comic has a wonderful sense of misdirection, you mind goes one way, the story goes another. I really enjoyed the paranormal aspect with a little bit of reality thrown in. I liked the art, it was different, gritty, a little angular, but worked well with the overall story. If you enjoy a darker, supernatural story with murder and mayhem you might enjoy this one, it’s worth picking up.

The story is dark and creepy and the art matches perfectly. I love the line drawings with its sepia-toned colors or grayscale with hints of color. It adds to the eerie and spooky factor. It definitely gives of Addam family vibes. Now I can't wait to check out the Netflix show!

I do remember reading this story but I am not sure what I thought of it. I will have to reread this to see what I actually thought of it later on.

read this book ages ago and the request to review keeps popping up. I am sure that I had done this one. Anyway repeating just in case.
Frederick is a retired monster hunter who is now a teacher and his family well they certainly complicate his retirement.
This is a beautifully balanced book between well written and carefully crafted images. The storyboarding was quite exceptional and the darkness really created a superb atmosphere. It is gritty, detailed and with wonderful tones of light and shade.
The story is enagaging, the characters resonate and there is a nice blend of humour in what could have been a dark tale. The dialogue works and keeps you moving along.
I read this at a rapid pace and then went back and slowly took in all the imagery. A reallly good graphic novel.
