This story barely holds together, but the art is interesting to look at, which was probably why it got printed. Probably the most arresting visual image in the story is the second panel in this page, where we see the psychic scar where the giant tentacled thing is absorbing the little girl’s life force through her back. It’s some serious body horror.
