I’m about halfway through, and I can’t wait to see where it goes!

It’s definitely more mystery than horror to me, but it’s also a coming of age as the friend group is nearing their graduation when everything happens.

I will definitely look up those titles! Thanks!

My kid was super excited to meet you in Raleigh. He wanted to do all of the lines by himself, and then he didn’t even tell us you gave him a bracelet!

Thanks for being so kind to him!

This comic does have a complete ending and isn’t left open as most post-apocalyptic stories are. I found it quite satisfying not to have to wonder about different characters and their arcs after the story’s close.

You’re ability to fully answer questions and to fight Charybdis is honestly aspirational 🤣 My mind would let me do each halfway or only one of them.

I’m so glad you pushed through. It was so beautiful. I’ve added your book of fables to my ever growing tbr, but it will be one I have to own instead of borrow.

The Unfortunate Convalescence of the SuperLawyer by @natcassidy.bsky.social was so fun as a fan of the Dark Tower series. I wanted more alternate worlds in the book, so I was so happy to get this one that explored the beams.
