The Night Eaters Vol 1 was an unexpected storyline that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was so much more than the haunted house story I expected. Excellent horror plot with some emotional family drama thrown in. Mom is a trip, dad is chill, Milly is angry and Billy is a spaz. Loved them all. I love the references to Chinese culture (not talking about the past is definitely a shared cultural trait) and stereotypes. Overall, I enjoyed the story and am definitely about to read Vol 2.
