drawings are superb and the stories themselves often contain a smart twist or sharp detail that elevates them above the modern day slasher thrillers. And while the drawings are gruesome, there is not much violence (murders, etc., happen off-screen). no real sexual content (insinuated) and no bad language. Highly recommended if you like this kind of thing. Show Less
