Exactly my shit in a lot of ways--densely drawn weird paper-medium-oriented comics about mental illness and institutionalization. Varyingly effective but I'm into it enough as something to learn and borrow from that I gotta give it that 4 stars.

I love the concept and presentation of this as a journal instead of a published book.
The art is fascinating, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly and totally, mind blowingly confusing. I have no idea what is going on or if there is even a storyline or common thread running through this book, there are reoccurring images and concepts but nothing that feels truly cohesive but to be honest there doesn't need to be, the idea of this book alone is worth checking out and experiencing on it's own.

Beautifully drawn and expertly written. The vague sense of unease at the beginning of this builds and builds with a ticking time bomb type of intensity, but it's way more than just a thriller or a horror story. Really curious to see where future volumes go.
