Review of 'Harrow County' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I read [b:Wytches, Vol. 1|25243735|Wytches, Vol. 1|Scott Snyder|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1434963600s/25243735.jpg|44963177] around this time last year, and thought that I'd have a handpainted-watercolor-graphic-novel-about-witches-shaped hole in my heart forever until I was recommended Harrow County, and I absolutely love this series. It's so creepy and gripping, and the art is incredible.
Also, as someone growing up in New England, I'm all too familiar with the witch trial period in the Northeast and all of the lore associated with it. It's so fascinating to expand my lens and read about attitudes towards witches in the South, from everything to what a "haint" means to "haint blue"- a shade of blue that folks would paint their front porches to supposedly ward off haints. I don't know why I thought that witch hunts were strictly a New England phenomenon, and I'm so excited to learn more about Southern American lore.
