BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES SC

I originally knew Patrick Horvath as a horror movie producer and then followed him on Instagram for his incredible watercolour paintings, eagerly awaiting some sort of comic project from him. The wait was worth it! Beneath the Trees follows Samantha the (adorable looking) bear, hardware store owner and serial murderer. Patrick continues working in watercolour and there’s not many better looking books on the shelves this year. It’s a tense cat & mouse mystery where somehow you’re rooting for the bloodthirsty killer, although admittedly the whole thing is (gloriously) upsetting. And that’s what I want from a horror book!
