“Those missing kids aren‘t missing anymore. They‘re where they‘ll always be, dead and in Ohio.”
This reminds me of It by Stephen King; the story has the same sort of cyclic horror and abuse hiding behind a the facade of a “nice” town. Unlike It, the monster in loving is a religion (or cult), and the religion is a pyramid scheme, and it remains undefeated by the end of the story. That tension of the monstrous thing confronted but not defeated, just escaped, feels very adult.
I placed a hold for this graphic novel long before I knew “Midwest“ was gonna be a #WickedWords prompt, and up my hold just came! I'm only a bit into it, but so far it seems to be a stifling serial-killer horror GN set in a twentieth-century Ohio town in the grip of a cult.
