Excellent stories. That's a great way to do a spin-off without cannibalizing the main story. The Residents of Hyde Street are just the hosts.
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
So first off, I love the artwork in this graphic novel, the covers & illustrations are excellent.
I also really enjoyed that both stories were about various horrors associated with being a woman. Sisterhood dives into toxic friendships and the desperation to be accepted while Devour tackles diet culture and the pressure on women to stay thin. The topics are mixed with supernatural and horror elements to heighten the scare factor and it really works.
Both stories are part horror, part camp, and part societal commentary, all combined in a fun way.
Sisterhood - a story about two best friends and how far they are willing to go for each other. There is a death that starts a series of supernatural events and misfortunes and a lot of violence ensues. An interesting reflection on female friendships, sorority culture, and codependence. There is a possession aspect to this story and the graphics that go along with that are perfect
Devour - this story takes diet culture to the extreme and makes it the horror of this story. At first I was unsure but I loved how they showed 4 generations of women in the same family prioritizing the stay thin at any cost mentality. Each woman ends up sacrificing everything to be skinny due to outside pressure and that is terrifying. There is also a supernatural element and the reveal is very satisfying.
I will definitely be checking out the regular Hyde Street series!

Decent teen horror book, with a girl drowning at a booze-laden sorority entry challenge. Luckily for her her best friend – the staid, party-phobic one of the two – goes to a medium, gets the connection needed from this world to the one beyond, and from then on the potential for murderous revenge is so much greater. Unless the girl finds a way to cut the link… This certainly doesn't have the gore and blood of a standard horror comic, meaning it's pretty much fine for a secondary school audience. And one thing it's also short of, too, is standard guttering, with the page split up into panels in no end of fashions. This is in keeping with the characters being so fluid at times, so the reader has to be prepared for things to morph, pop out from behind, take over and so on.
We also get an extra-length one-shot, with a quite different message, regarding the weight-loss industry. This proves this series all told wants to portray the darkness behind the small town hokum, a la The Twilight Zone and similar, and probably wants to actually gain a female audience, and not a schoolkids one. And they're not doing wrong, but most female readers will probably want more oomph. There isn't really a surprise with the latter piece, and the dramatic end of the sisterhood saga isn't nearly as full-blooded as it could so easily have been. Girls going fratty and miracle 'dieting' cures are easy targets for something much more cutting than what we have here. So yes, secondary school readers would be the happier. Three and a bit stars.

As a huge fan of the main Hyde Street series, I was really looking forward to seeing how the universe would expand with Sisterhood. The main comic sets such a high bar with its atmosphere and sharp, visceral writing that it’s hard for a spin-off to compete, and unfortunately, this one felt like a bit of a step down. While it’s a decent enough horror story to flesh out the world, it just didn't have that same electric vibe that makes the flagship title so addictive.
The plot follows the complex relationship between lifelong friends Sophie and Violet, whose bond is tested when Violet accidentally drowns during a sorority hazing incident. While the themes of co-dependence and the high cost of grief fit the Hyde Street mythos perfectly, the execution felt a bit more standard than what I’ve come to expect from this universe.
The characters just didn't feel as layered or compelling as the ones in the main story, which made it harder to stay fully invested in the stakes. That said, the art is definitely a high point. Leila Leiz does a great job with the horror sequences and creative panel work that capture the eerie, unsettling nature of the street. If you’re a completionist who wants to see more of how the Residents operate, it's a solid side-read, but it doesn't quite reach the level of the main series. It’s a decent horror snack, but I’m definitely ready to get back to the main course.

Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story is a comic worth easily devoured in one sitting. The novel was reminisce of the wonderfully creepy imagery of Tales From the Crypt with the tasteful twists of Goosebumps.
It follows two best friends, Violet and Sophie, who go to college together for this next chapter of their lives. When tragedy strikes during a sorority hazing game, it leaves our dynamic duo as a solo act. Unwilling to give up the sisterly bond they shared, she goes to a psychic for help. Soon, a simple request turns into a horrible nightmare, leaving readers turning the page to see what happens next. It truly takes "be careful what you wish for" to a level worth reading.
I will say, as enjoyable as it was, it was also predictable. I saw some of the big moments coming from a mile away, but it was still fun. The illustrations added to the creep factor I was hoping for, and they were so detailed that I found my eyes lingering on each page a little longer than the typical graphic novel. I appreciate the artist's attention to detail, especially when it came to all those reflections. It truly brought the story to life in a way that made me want more.
This dark and twisted tale was a lot of fun, and I would not only recommend it, but it is one I would read again.

Review of advance copy
I was very skeptical going into this book - a spin-off of a series that's barely started? Yeah, that'll go well. But I'm prepared to eat my hat, because I very much enjoyed this. If anything, it seems that Hyde Street is the Ghost Machine book that lends itself to spin-offs the most, being part Twilight Zone, part Tales from the Cryptkeeper.
The lead story, Sisterhood, features a pair of friends, one of whom dies (this is all on the blurb, you're good for spoilers). The other ends up on Hyde Street in the tarot parlour of Sister Hood, and then has her friend's soul grafted onto hers. What follows is a tale of revenge, relationships, and yes, sisterhood, as everything goes to hell in handbasket for everyone involved. It's a compelling read, like a slasher movie meets a horror tale, and the ultimate conclusion still managed to surprise me.
Also included is the Devour one-shot, also by the same creative team, which isn't exactly revolutionary (pretty sure there was an American Horror Stories episode about a similar thing), but still managed to send chills down my spine as three generations of women succumb to a horrible fate as they try to keep themselves young and skinny.
I did eat a whole packet of chocolate biscuits afterwards, so the cautionary tale aspect maybe didn't land with me quite as well, but that's my problem!
Very happy to have been wrong about this one, just as recommended as the main Hyde Street book.

It’s a friendship to die for… or at least everyone else will.
Writer Maytal Zchut delivers a beautifully dark, atmospheric story about toxic friendships, revenge, and pure evil. Add in horror and the supernatural, and you get Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story. The artwork by Leila Leiz is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly complements the haunting tale of Sophie and Violet—lifelong friends, closer than sisters—until a tragic accident leaves Violet dead.
Sophie is devastated beyond measure. Her life unravels… until she stumbles into the hands of the Sisterhood, who promise to help her heal. But as always, be careful what you wish for.
That’s when the story truly takes off. I was flying through the pages, completely hooked. I loved these girls and their story—dark, tragic, and yes, violent. It begs the question: how far would you go for your BFF?
Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story collects all five original comics in the series and includes a chilling bonus story, It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour, where it’s “get fit or die trying.” It’s an equally twisted tale that tackles body shaming taken to horrifying extremes.
I want to thank Image Comics for the eGalley of Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story! I really loved it.

It’s a story about sisterhood and revenge. It’s about growing up and growing apart as Violet and Sophie start going their own ways, finding new friends, new hobbies, new lives that don’t involve one another. It’s about grief, and holding on too tight to something you thought you had.
This is a fast, melancholic horror with plenty of gore and violence. It follow the usual horror story tropes of possession, retribution, and jealousy. It’s well drawn, with bright vivid colors and strong character designs, and it’s nice to see side characters get fleshed out — even if only briefly before they, you know, die. I really liked how the artist drew the “other side,” and the tumult of emotions, the dark and the light. While the humor is a bit hit or miss, for me, I still had fun with this.
This omnibus also has an additional story: It Happened On Hyde Street: Devour #1 that felt so very … Tales from the Crypt-ish with the overall feel of the story and the ending. It was bright, colorful, cheerfully creepy and fun! If you’re interested in horror or slasher flicks, you should have fun with this. Thank you so very much to the publisher and Net Galley for the ARC!

A fantastic blend of witchy paranormal and slasher horror, Sisterhood has really convinced me to check out the main Hyde Street series.
The artwork in this collection is fantastic - a classic comic style with eye-catching classic horror movie-esque scenes. There is also a really clever use of reflections throughout the story, illustrating characters in a different plane alongside the main character which I adored. Couple interesting art alongside a fast-paced revenge story and this collection is a hell of a ride. And you can't go wrong with a college sorority for a slasher setting.
Sisterhood is collected alongside the one-shot Devour. This is another female-centric and slightly Lovecraftian horror. Focusing on the very real horror of body image it is simple but effective. While not the most unique take on horror, I love the way it was crafted and the illustrations - again - were fantastic.

I wasn't familiar with the Hyde Street series, but I requested this because I had had good experiences with horror graphic novels before, and the art seemed good. I'm really glad I did, because this was amazing.
Great horror criticises society, and this book not only did that, but as the title clued us in, it focuses on women and female experiences, which I love
The main story was really interesting for me, as a Portuguese person, because we have a very similar hazing culture in university, which often involves abuse, harm and even death, and there are plenty of criminal investigations to prove it. One of my favourite details was how alcohol featured throughout the story and contributed to things going wrong.
The second shorter story focused on how diet culture has become an intergenerational monster amongst women, and just like the first one, the ending will haunt you, in the best way possible.

Violet and Sophie are childhood best friends. When Violet is killed by a college sorority hazing incident, she returns to haunt Sophie looking for revenge in Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story.
A second Hyde Street story, Devour, is also included. It tells the tale of a wonder drug in 1983 allowing anyone to lose weight effortlessly.
I enjoyed Sophie’s story. It had innovative artwork that clearly showed how Violet was possessing Sophie’s body. The plot and especially the conclusion had some intriguing twists too.
The second story has eerie similarities to the diet shots everyone is on now. Will those of us on them eventually have to pay an unexpectedly high price later too?
If you like your comics with thought-provoking storylines rather than outright scares, pick up Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story. 5 stars!

Disturbing in the BEST Ways!
Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story is evil in the best, most deliciously deranged way. Maytal Zchut takes a story about toxic friendship, grief, and desperation and drags it straight into the jaws of Hyde Street, where every wish has teeth and every emotion curdles into something darker. It’s violent, vicious, and genuinely disturbing. The kind of horror that feels like it breathes down your neck. Inspired by Castle Rock and Fear Street. And then you get to the bonus story, “It Happened On Hyde Street,” and.... just exceptional. It is legitimately terrifying. Miss Goodbody’s “get fit or die trying” routine? Absolutely unhinged, stomach‑turning, and unforgettable. Family secrets to the very end. The whole collection feels like Fear Street grew up, got meaner, and decided to punish everyone who ever wronged it. It’s twisted, nasty, and so, so excellent

The art style is really unique and does exist in a way to complement the story being told. That is a key need in any graphic novel to keep attention. Theres a level of chaos that is approachable and needed in horror/creepy books but at times this story teeters over the edge of being slightly too much. The concept of this story is very compelling and implements real life and the horrors that have been shown in Greek life. The pacing is also pretty good and doesn't stagnate, it keeps the reader on the edge of their toes the entirety of reading. There are many twists and turns you do not expect.
The first half of this edition was a lot more compelling and easier to get into than the second half (devour). I don't think the two stories really complemented eachother and did not create a sense of wanting to keep reading past the end of the first story.

This was an entertaining and quick read. I went through the whole thing in a single morning and it is the perfect balance of disturbing, tense and a little bit gorey. The story is interesting, and I would love to see more with this vibe.
While the art-style isn't my favourite, it did fit pretty well with the story over-all. Some parts looked a little weird, especially the mouths. But it didn't disrupt the readability too much. Other than that the art-style looked good.
The story is told in a fast-pace, and there is a lot of mystery. At the end, I still had unanswered questions, but that only has me come back for more if the artist decided to release another installation in this whole bringing-people-back-from-the-death thing.

Maytal Zchut delivers again, this time she is given a full mini series to show what she can do along with the terrific Leila Leiz.
So much potential here for both this writer and artist.
This almost reads like a strip from classic U.K. horror comic, like Misty or Scream. It’s paced very well across the 5 issues and hits each beat of the plot in a very satisfying way, with decent dialogue and good tension.
Leiz has a fantastic heavy inking style which she uses to great effect in creative and dynamic layouts which jump out the page at the right moments.
Hopefully this creative team can be kept together for further Ghost Machine/Hyde Street books.
4.5 stars.

I LLOOVVVVEEEEE the art! I couldn’t get enough of the style!!! I feel like what i say will never be enough! It’s the right amount of dark, retro, and cute. Colours are ON POINT!
I am not the biggest fan of the story tho! I know getting the whole story out in limited amount is pages is difficult, but i wish it was more thought out!
Why did the character choose to do that? Why was the mom drinking in the very first page? Why did we even got that part anyway? How had she never shown her true colours before?
But i will say, i loved the twist! It was a really good one! Maybe some people could have seen it coming, i didn’t and i thoroughly enjoyed it!

3.5 stars rounded up - This was a really fun read. First off, I really liked the art - it’s aesthetically pleasing but a little dirty, and very gory in a way that fits the tone. The storyline is weird and kept me guessing the whole time.
I felt a mix of sympathy, anger, and annoyance toward Violet as she became more and more violent and unhinged, which made her interesting to follow even when she was hard to like.
I liked the twist ending - I honestly wasn’t expecting that. I also enjoyed the first part of the series they included in end, Devour, just as much. That premise is especially creepy, and I’d be interested in continuing with that storyline.
I received this book as an eARC.

I really enjoyed this comic. I loved the art, especially the underwater scenes, they were beautiful and really atmospheric. I also loved the concept; horror stories set in sorority houses are always so interesting to me.
Even though the arc wasn’t very long, I still felt emotionally connected to the characters and their losses. It made me want to learn more about the friendship between the main characters, and I became really invested in the story.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc.

This was really fun! It's definitely something that would work really well as a movie. It seems like it was made for that. It's got the vibes of a mix between Jennifer's Body and Happy Death Day. Just a really fun, solid supernatural slasher. The supplemental story was really fun too. Very Tales From the Crypt. I had never heard of this series before, but I'm definitely going to check it out now. Thanks for the ARC!

I received a copy if this graphic novel from NetGalley in return for my honest review. I can say that I enjoyed the story of two friends being tied together from childhood and going to college only to find that their interests are diverging. I do wish that the story was a bit longer and more drawn out, but what there was engaging. I also enjoyed the illustrations as they served to enhance the reading experience.

Amazing read!!! Love the storyline!!! That ending was very unexpected. I feel bad for Sophie future… it quite refreshing reading a story where the ending evil wins. Im so shocked when i reach the ending!

I recieved a digital copy of this comic thanks to NetGalley and Image Comics. I am leaving a voluntary and honest review.
These two stories managed to find the perfect balance between being flushed out enough to get the story across but short enough it wasn't dragged out. I was thinking about them hours later.
The art is colorful and done well.

Read from the individual books collected as they released.
Scream Queens meets Jawbreaker.
I loved this. I'm new to comics, and happy to find some that suit my taste.
This tells the complex story of childhood best friends as the grow up, go to college, and one of them dies as part of sorority hazing. Does their bond go beyond death? What will someone do for revenge?

Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC read of this story.
It was actually a pretty good read. When I first clicked thru to the first page I was a little worried. But the story was interesting and had a good plot/storyline to it.

Do not skip this if you're a Hyde Street or horror fan. It's a great little possession slasher thriller that hasn't received enough promotion.

Sophie and Violet have been best friends since grade school. Now they're in college and Violet dies during a hazing incident. Now her ghost is visiting Sophie and she's wants revenge. Not bad.

Thank you to NetGalley and Image comics for a digital copy of this Graphic novel in exchange for my review!
I really enjoyed this horror graphic novel, the art was full of life and a bit scary also. I loved the colors and style and I was sucked into the story, it was so dynamic. I will definitely be checking out the other Hyde street stories since this is the first one I have read. I also loved the inclusion of the one-shot story at the end of this volume. The sorority storyline was fun and spooky, and although predictable it was a fun ride!

Sisterhood is a classic story about friendship, mean girls and demons. The art style is the big standout of this film. The plot twist was also amazing.
