 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.
