This is the first Horror Graphic Novel that I have read. For it being my first one it wasn't too bad. I wasn't too disappointed I feel like there could have been a little more of a back story on Kellyn. It would have made the beginning a little more understandable. Sacred Lamb is a secret town to home women who needed to be in witness protection program. These women called EVEs are saved victims of the endemic slasher killers. There are rumors that the killers have came back from the dead. Kellyn is a youtube influencer who's slasher killer found her on one of her livestreams. When they move her in to Sacred Lamb the killers just come out of the blue to try to kill them all and it all goes sideways from there. When I read the description here on Goodreads and saw "think real-world Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger" I had to read it because these three movie series are some are my favorite horror movies. I wasn't extremely disappointed but I wasn't much of a fan of the ending. Its a 3 star for me.

Thank you Netgalley and TKO Studios for giving me the opportunity to review the ARC.

We're following Kellyn West, a Youtube influencer, who survives an attack from a crazed fan. After this ordeal, Kellyn is sent to Sacred Lamb, a community slasher killer survivors called "Eves" reside. People are suddenly getting killed one by one when the slashers return from the dead.

I don't know how I feel about this graphic novel. I wanted to love this so much, but I just didn't. The stereotypes really irritated me, the misogyny really killed the spooky vibes for me, and the dialogue was bizarre. I did like the art work, and the plot is so good, but the execution didn't hit the mark for me.

3.5 stars rounded up

Wow, this book was certainly interesting, I absolutely loved the plot of all the final girls living in a town that soon becomes easily corrupt by the guards living in it I especially found them to be horrifically unlikable but I think they were meant to be unlikable, and the fact that being a victim is considered a disease in this is quite interesting as well as becoming a slasher. I really so badly wanted to like the characters but none of them really spoke to me, I do think that this is a very well-put-together slasher/thriller graphic novel and it was very enjoyable to read.

This book is perfect for those who were fans of Grady Hendrix’s Final Girls Support Group because it had the same energy, of course, being that all the final girls are now living in a witness protection town. Overall this was an enjoyable spooky read with stunning illustrations.

Thank you Netgalley and TKO Studios for the arc!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me an ARC to review!

1 star!

Oh boy. I was so excited to read this. A story of survivors of serial killers live together but the killers return from the dead?! AND A GRAPHIC NOVEL?! Sign me up!

I found myself laughing through most of this. Just some of the situations that would happen would just happen and you’re sat there like, “well how did she know how to do that? How did that happen?” But then the next thing it would be explained and that is that.

Also some of the story just didn’t seem to make much sense to me. But it was the reason previous reason that I couldn’t just enjoy this as much as I wanted.

3.5/5
The graphic novel reminds me of “The Final Girl Support Group” that came out recently about the women who survived slasher films.
Overall the story is interesting but sometimes doesn’t explain things clearly and could be added upon HOWEVER, I think it’s a great horror graphic novel. My students are obsessed with murder books and are always asking for them. We have lots of novels but not so many graphic novels that are thriller/horror so I will definitely be adding this title to our collection!

http://bewarethescarylibrarian.blogspot.com/2022/09/graphic-content-sacred-lamb-by-tim.html A witty concept powered by final girls who butt against the stereotype.

Spooky and full of surprises. I quite enjoyed this. I put this as currently reading a few days ago but I didn't start it til last night and crushed it in one sitting, I just had to know where it was going.

This is hard to digest, but I really, really enjoyed this one. The story is something to be digested, but not easily, as it deals with a lot of concepts.

Sacred Lamb definitely gave me a fright! I am very new to reading more in this genre but I did find this novel well illustrated and interesting.

When you have a super natural villain you need Supernatural heroes and that’s what you get in Sacred lame the place where everyone has an ax to grind everyone has an attitude and some even like to kill. I really enjoyed this book with vibrant pics and a fun story this is a comic I highly recommend. I received it from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am legally blind and dictate my review.

I’m not quite sure how put my finger on it, but this one was just not for me. The illustration style needed some refinement, and the dialogue came across incredibly abnormal.

For example, a character gets shot in the arm, and the officer says “LAPD, stay the f*ck down or the next one goes in your body mass!”

…body mass? Isn’t the arm technically part of one’s body?

While the plot of this graphic novel (as well as the stunning artwork) is what pulled me in, the El execution of the promised story just feel a bit flat for me. The characters felt very one dimensional and the stakes were too ridiculous and didn’t lean into the camp factor that may have helped this feel more like a riff on horror slasher movies.

Overall I just didn’t really enjoy the story but I appreciated the artwork.

Addicting! So much good horror. I wasn‘t a fan of the drawing style but the story was so good! I loved it.

Kellyn West survived a terrifying ordeal by killing the killer who had been stalking her. Now she's been brought to Sacred Lamb, a top-secret town filled with other survivors who are kept away from the rest of the world to protect innocent people from the possibility of "sequel killings." Think if the survivors of Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elm Street were all trapped in a small town/prison. The isolation doesn't protect the survivors, though - their tormentors are coming to finish the job, and all the restrictions they live with won't be enough to keep them alive. A bloody adrenaline rush of a book. Sacred Lamb asks why the (mostly female) survivors of violence have to carry the weight of the crimes against them, while not skimping on the horror.

The art is a very striking style with bold illustrations. The characters of the book have their own interesting back story as “final girls” and their background that brings them into the present story are all interesting horror stories in their own right. You get double the story. Definitely worth reading.

Thankyou to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of Sacred Lamb by Tim Seeley. This is a horror graphic novel about a town where serial-killer survivors go to seek refuge and go into hiding. It was super entertaining from start to finish and I’d definitely reccomend!

Pretty interesting concept and plot. Characterization is quite flimsy in my opinion. And I kind of like the vibe given off from the illustration. Thanks so much for the eARC. Always grateful for Netgalley and publishers

Thank you for allowing me the chance to read this. I really wanted to like it. I couldn't get into this comic. The pictures where cool though.

Sacred Lamb

Thank you so much, TKO Studios & Netgalley for this gifted copy of Sacred Lamb in exchange for an honest review! Scared Lamb is out now!

A graphic novel about a bunch of bad ass final girls? Sign me up!! Sacred Lamb was a 3.5/5 ⭐️ for me! This read like a really cheesy horror movie. Thankfully those are my favorite kinds. 😂 This was short and sweet and gory and full of serial killers/ final girls. The over all plot was great, I just thought it fell a little short. The twist was pretty predictable and the ending had my rolling my eyes, but it was pretty fun either way!

Synopsis: Sacred Lamb is a place where final girls go to cope with the deaths that were brought on by their victimizers and deal with the emotional stress they also caused. It is a supposedly a very secure and secretive area, with no outside contact, until final girls start to get picked off one by one.

The artwork was well done and the premise is what initially drew me in. But this story felt like satire the whole time. Cheesy horror aspects, cheesy social media presence and cheesy banter back and forth between characters.

This graphic novel might resonate better with a younger crowd, but the artwork made it feel more mature. This graphic novel definitely has its niche, and it will find it's readers! I sadly wasn't one in this case.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC. These opinions are my own.
