Silk Hills by Kate Sherron, Ryan Ferrier, Brian Level

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

Silk Hills is a horror comic of a town called Silk Hills where two warring families erupt into chaos. In a town with two main family groups, one family takes over the town with its greed and forces the other family to live in the old mining tunnels where they begin to worship a sinister god. 

This comic was so gory and psychedelic. Reading it feels like you’re on drugs. The story is moreish making it difficult to put down. The art is so well done and I loved the colour scheme. This also had a F/F relationship and an M/M relationship and the main character is a black lesbian. 

I really enjoyed reading this! Although I got it as an ARC from Oni Press, I will also be purchasing my own copy, this is definitely one that I’ll be re-reading multiple times!!
