Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town in this twisted debut graphic novel! This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong's cardinal rule. After all, there's a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you've worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie...the last thing you want is to disturb the peace. So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook's own meets a grisly, mysterious demise--and you wouldn't blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree. Cute critters aren't immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.

Underneath the storybook facade...
A deliciously dark tale of a very unique serial killer. Don't let the beautiful storybook style art fool you, this is a thriller about a successful serial killer whose carefully concealed crimes are threatened to be unearthed when a new killer starts their spree on her turf. A brilliant comic and well worth it for fans of gruesome tales.

So nice to read a story about a female serial killer, and the art truly makes the whole thing
The story itself was fantastic. I bought the hard copy after already reading it online. I really enjoyed a story about a female serial killer, who wasn't a serial killer due to some intrinsic trauma related to being a woman. She just... is. The art's amazing and evocative, the story is incredibly satisfying, my only gripe is that it was delivered badly (damaged from being shoved in the postbox) but that's more an Amazon issue than that of the author or actual book

This bear bites!!
Just came today in the post, canโt put it down. Amazing read. The contrast between beautifully drawn and painted pen and ink watercolour style art work to the subject matter of a cold blooded murderer narrating the story and then another mystery killer on the loose added into the mix makes this an addictive, quirky, scary readโฆ you never know what horror is gonna happen on the next page!

Unique and gripping art and storyline
Such a unique art style and story. Bought this for my husband for a surprise gift after doing some research on award winning comics. He loved it. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

Zootopia with a serial killer?
Absolutely incredible, please tell me the other parts will receive the same treatment with artwork. Had this hidden gem not appeared on my Instagram feed I wouldn't have even heard of it

Dexter ๐ช๐ฉธ meets woodland creatures ๐ป
A beautifully illustrated graphic novel. Wished it was a bit longer and the ending was not what I was prepared for. My only critique would be. I think they needed to be more misdirects but in all a wonderful book. I hope they make more of these.

Groรartige Zeichnungen mit einer mehr al gelungen Story
Eine wunderschรถn gezeichnete cozy Whodunit Story. Man wird direkt reingezogen nach Woodbrook, erlebt den ruhigen Alltagstrott der Bewohner und zumindest ich, wรผrde gern direkt dahin ziehen. Vielleicht lieber erst nachdem alles vorbei ist , aber ansonsten gern ^^ Ich will nicht zu viel auf die Story eingehen, aber die bekannte und freundliche Bรคrin Sam ist nicht komplett ehrlich zu den Bewohnern. Sie ist nicht immer so gelassen. Als dann auch noch ein Mord bei einer Parade geschieht, will sie helfen diesen aufzuklรคren. Ich liebe wie schon beschrieben den Art style, die Zeichnungen sind Wunderschรถn und es ist unheimlich gut geschrieben. Die einzelnen Kapitel haben eine solche Sogwirkung, das ich es nicht weglegen konnte. Ich freue mich jetzt hart auf 'Rite of Spring', was ich demnรคchst lese und 'The Summer and the Fall' welches im Februar 2027 erst als Heftserie erscheint und die ich schon auf der Pull List habe ^^ Nur eines finde ich irgendwie seltsam. Es sind alles Anthropomorphe Tiere, haben aber zb. Haustiere und in der Fleischerei gibt es auch ... Fleisch halt ^^ Fazit: Fรผr alle die etwas mit Murder mysteries in einer Cozy Kleinstadt รผbrig haben. Hervorragend zum abschalten und runter kommen, trotz der Morde.... ^^

Woe. Simply wow
Shocking brutal and incredible all at the same time. I am always for good villain stories and this one took cake

Cute... But gruesome...
I absolutely loved this graphic novel! This being said, despite the beautiful, wholesome artwork, this is NOT a children's book!! I cannot emphasize this enough. The themes in this book is just for adults and deals with rather dark subject matter. The story and characters are incredibly well exucuted and I definitely recommend this... If you can stomach it.

Great book
Great product! The quality is very nice, and it came much sooner than i expected it to. I first read a couple of pages of this book on the interent but i am so glad i bought the physical copy, it's much more enjoyable for me to read. I really like it :)

Does not worth the price for this format
37$ for a so small comics book? Whatever is the story, it is a rip-off. I got it for 24$ (discount) but it is really the max it should cost. It is not an isolated cases: I think many prices are increased to make us think it is a great discount (like -30 to 40%) while it is just the normal price. I think we should have some regulation for the price of Comics books like it is in France. Else you always need to be very careful and if you are disappointed multiple times, you will not order online anymore.
