Publisher Marketing: "Lemire fires on all cylinders to create an eerie masterpiece that entertains and unnerves in equal measure."-- "Comic Book Resources" Review Quotes : "It's a bizarre book but unquestionably memorable."-- "ComicBook.com" Review Quotes : "A grotesquely addictive, trypophobic nightmare epic." -- "-- ShelfAwareness (starred review)" Review Quotes : "Lemire's interactions between the characters and dialogue are deftly crafted considering the strangeness of the story, displaying the personal, emotional weight each character is carrying and how this motivates how they deal with the bizarre.

At times moving and revolting, this is a wretchedly detailed story of loyalty, trauma, and living on the outside." -- " --Booklist (starred review) " Review Quotes : "Lemire's singular style, with its uncanny figures and warm, bleeding inks, is a visual delight.
