Chilling adventures of Sabrina
160 pages
A blood-soaked, retro-horror coming-of-age story where teenage milestones collide with inescapable occult terror.
What it feels like
Reading this feels like discovering a cursed, blood-stained comic book hidden in the attic. It masterfully subverts the wholesome, mid-century Americana of its origins, replacing malt shops and high school dances with satanic rituals and creeping dread. The pacing is brisk and cinematic, pulling you through a perpetually autumnal, Halloween-ready world where the shadows are deep and the stakes are terrifyingly high. There is a delicious tension between the earnest teenage longing of the protagonist and the macabre, EC Comics-style horror that surrounds her. It is a visceral, atmospheric experience that will delight fans of dark, gothic reimaginings and anyone who loves their coming-of-age stories laced with genuine scares, occult mythology, and a heavy dose of retro camp.
