I must say it is delightful reading about a monstrous damsel.
Winifred Notty is a governess who has just started with the Pounds. She’s in charge of a boy, Andrew, and girl, Drusilla. But as the pages go by, you start realizing that Ms. Notty is quite disturbed.
She is a monster created by her own mother, abandoned by her father and denied by her siblings. We see her darkness unfold and take over … culminating in a symphony of gore.
If you enjoyed American Psycho, you’ll enjoy this novel.
Thank you netgalley, w w Norton and company and Virginia Fritz for the opportunity to read this novel.

This grief horror graphic novel follows Dorothy who is out for revenge after the circle of witches who condemned her husband to hell for a murder he did not commit.
It’s the 1950s, a deadly smog has London paralyzed and this story unfolds through Dorothy as she works towards getting her revenge. Her grief is palpable in this graphic novel and it’s a hell of a driving force.
The artwork is fantastic and the story brings forth a dark world of politics, gore and terrifying witchiness. I liked it a lot. However I wanted more. There were a few details that were mentioned but not clarified and that was a hell of an open ending. Kind of tragic.
Thank you netgalley, dead sky and creators for the opportunity to read this ARC.
