Concerning & Potentially Concerning Content

This yet another example of where the short, colorful, graphic novel format is going to lead to the complete wrong type of reader reading this book. And that is unfortunate, because in these short pages of just this first volume there are things to be very concerned about. This book draws readers in right away with a sweet scene of a family on a road trip. They are connecting and loving each other and we begin to get hopeful about this story… until we see in detailed graphics the car plunge over the edge of a cliff. This prolonged scene finds the car on the edge of certain death. Mom and the daughter (the main character) climb out, but dad’s legs are trapped. They hold his hand and call out to him… until the car falls over and dad dies (again, remember the audience of graphic novels). We move forward in time after this to find the family moving into a creepy old house in the country. This is where the book really goes off the rails and we find out the short graphic novel about a family is actually a horror story. In the middle of the night the family is awakened by a frightening noise and mom is literally kidnapped before her kid’s eyes by a wicked, terrifying creature. The rest of the book holds graphics of multiple horrible beings, including a wicked vampire looking creature and a child being led by what seems to be a strange, seemingly possessed, amulet. The 'Publisher's Summary' mentions "man-eating demons".
