Synopsis: "Ilsa lives alone in a large mansion deep in the woods. Ilsa has always lived here, though not always alone. Ilsa has a hunger, she likes to hunt, she likes to skin, and carve, and clean. Now Ilsa has hired the young Marie to help her keep the big house tidy. But Marie brings demons of her own into Ilsa's domain. And watching these two strange birds locked in a cage is the house itself, cursed with sentience, destined to watch the horror of the human drama unfold again and again." Via Good Reads

Review
Graveneye is a graphic novel about a mansion hidden from the world filled with horrors and secrets. It tells the story of Isla, who is not all human, and Marie, a frail woman who cleans the manor. Graveneye graphic novel is confusing in places but is such a refreshing gothic horror.
If you love stories of intrigue, obsession, and horror then you will love this graphic novel!
What I liked
🖤The artwork done by Anna Bowles is extraordinary. I hope she illustrates more graphic novels in the future.
🖤The story is told from the house's perspective, which was unique and made the story very eerie because you didn't know what was going through Isla or Marie's head. I can't wait to read more of Sloane Leong's work.
🖤There is a large build-up of tension in this story that you are just waiting for the explosion.
What I didn't like
💀Graphic depictions of animal death. This had its place in the graphic novel and was done with a specific purpose, but I did not enjoy seeing it.
