Burried Long, Long Ago #1-5
Buried Long, Long Ago
For fans of historical fiction focusing on a woman, Belle Gunness, with a murderous vendetta...a nice amount of mayhem and the supernatural thrown in for good measure. For fans of the film The Witch and the comic adaptation of The Dunwich Horror.
Based on true events, from 1901-1908 Belle Gunness lured dozens of lonely men to her Indiana farm and savagely murdered them for their money. Because Belle managed to avoid capture and face trial, much of this story remains untold. Until now. This is a fairy-tale retelling of her brutal crimes from the perspective of her three young children...who soon discover there is something far worse, and far more evil, than their mother on the farm. Something Buried Long, Long Ago.

I enjoyed this and loved the artwork. It will definitely appeal to fans of Harrow County.

So, in 2021, I happened to pick up Camilla Bruce's In the Garden of Spite, a fictional account of Belle Gunness. I didn't even know until the author's note at the end of the book that it was based on a real person. What? How did I miss the story of this early twentieth century Midwest serial killer?
When I saw this graphic novel, I had to pick it. If this graphic novel is your first encounter with Belle, I highly recommend Bruce's novel, too.
Cleveland takes a more supernatural approach to Belle's story, telling it through the eyes of her children who still believe in fairy tales, monsters, and that evil can be destroyed.
The art was great (and truly horrifying). I liked the fairy tale tie-ins, and I liked the ending change, too.
All in all, two thumbs up for this horror graphic novel based on real-life terror.

I loved the girls in this. One of the best comics I've read this year.
