The Terrifying Tales of Vivian Vance: A Graphic Novel by Josh Ulrich, Josh Ulrich

4.0

This was a very fun tale! This story has an interesting mix of the vibes from Stranger Things, Papergirls, and Super 8. The plot was tight and the plot pacing was smoothly done. It never lost my attention and kept me wondering what the truth was. I did really like that Vivian Vance isn't a perfect person. She's actually kind of a terrible person, but watching her grow as a person was interesting. I don't want to spoil too much, but it was a pretty great story. It surprisingly got pretty gory at parts! Seeing as it's a Teen/YA graphic novel, I really didn't expect that level of gore. I personally didn't care too much for the art style, but that's honestly just personal taste, not anything to do with technical abilities. I also raised an eyebrow at the fact that Vivian wears heels. She's supposed to be running around doing all these crazy things in HEELS? Yes, they're heeled knee-high boots, but still. Heels?

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
