Reviews

[Quirky Cat]

I received a copy of The Low, Low Woods in exchange for a fair and honest review.

 

The Low, Low Woods is the latest graphic novel in the DC Black Label line. As such, it's a horror story, and it makes no apologies for what it is.

In Pennsylvania there is a town called Shudder-to-Think. It is a town that has earned it's name. Fires blaze under the ground, while those above are afflicted with an illness that takes away their memory. In little pieces at first, and later in large chunks.

El and Vee are the latest victims to this disease, and they're not content to let it run its course. Thus, they're going to find the cause, though they may not appreciate the truth once it has been uncovered.

 

Warnings: The Low, Low Woods is a seriously dark book. It has strong themes surrounding sexual assault, rape, and abuse. This is not a story for the faint of heart. Seriously.
