Silk Hills

 Where does one even begin with this one...

Silk Hills is a psychological horror set in the small town of Silk Hills. The story itself follows the ex-marine turned private investigator Beth, who is hired to search for the missing man of a lumber corporations CEO. There is something more sinister hunting Beth trying to stop her from finding the truth.

This graphic novel leans very heavy into the horror elements, which left me saying “WTF” a few times. The general vibe is something on the level of X-Files but a few shades darker. What I liked about the novel is the choice that was made with how color is used. The novel starts out in muted yellow tones, but as it goes on and Beth gets closer to the truth more color is added.

My only complaint is that some plot points hit super fast and then moved on. I think this story would be better told as serialized story over multiple volumes, so there can be more build up tension over time before the conclusion.

With that being said I really did enjoy what I read. I am still trying to wrap my head around it, I will be revisiting it in the future to see if I missed anything during my first read through.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
