I'm not a big fan of horror, but I picked this up because the illustrations looked beautiful. They are! The story is refreshingly original and difficult to predict, and it truly gave me the creeps!
We are left wondering why exactly the cat woman came to the castle nearly to the end, and every other aspect of the story is shrouded in mystery and confusion, maintaining a nightmarish aura. Fairy tales of the Grimm variety are a clear influence here.
The underlying meaning of the relationship between the cat woman and the Countess is highly disturbing all by itself, if you're one to notice such things. The interactions between the characters are an uncomfortable mix of antagonism and eroticism that's never examined within the story.
Recommended for fans of supernatural horror and lesbian stories. 4 stars.
