This is a deeply disturbing story containing some seriously graphic violence towards women (well, one woman in particular). The creepy lines at the top of the page don’t really strike home until the end of the story, which makes them creepier on the reread. The art is pretty good, with nice grey tones that give dimension to the linework.
