Description
The twenty-first century sucks hard, but it's been made somewhat tolerable by the latest media innovation to finally unseat the iPhone. Enter the Dreamwave: the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep.
Now the obsession of millions around the globe, it's also the one point of solace for four friends whose lives have been marred by trauma and dysfunction. Together, this group of ultra-online "Cemetery Kids" spend their nights roaming the open world of the most immersive and brutal horror game ever created: "Nightmare Cemetery." Together they seek to dethrone an enigmatic humanoid monster known only as the "The King of Sleep."
Which was fun—until one of them doesn't wake up . . . and finds their consciousness locked inside a horror game that is anything but imaginary. Now, the three remaining Cemetery Kids must navigate the game's forbidden landscape to rescue their friend . . . and pray that the secret lurking at its center doesn't follow them home.
Experience an exhilarating, terrifying adventure downloading from the cortexes of critically acclaimed writer Zac Thompson (Hunt for the Skinwalker, The Dregs) and blockbuster artist Daniel Irizarri (XINO, Judge Dredd)!

...Why have I never ever heard of 'Cemetery Kids Don't Die'?! This volume was awesome and I really had a fantastic time of this.
Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for this fabulous ARC.
A solid kudos to Zac Thompson and Daniel Irizarri for their hard work.
Since this is my first time reading a graphic novel like this one and I really want to talk about my experience with it. I was caught up from the very first page, the idea of a horror/scifi fantasy exciting and the art all encompassing. Beautiful. There is so much detail going on in every part of the strip, each window holdings a vast amount of hard work and possibly hours of it. The colours were perfectly well picked and the font was a great choice.
If there does end up being a kindle version do not forget about the ability to select a window to zoom into so that people on smaller devices can see.
Five stars and I cannot wait to recommend this to others.

4 stars.
Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for my digital review copy!
This graphic novel was a mix of fantasy, horror and video games in the best way possible!
We have a dungeon crawler video game that plays whilst the players sleep, making them live through hellish battles.
I loved the artwork and the colouring on the game level sequences and how this contrasted to the tones and the art style of the real world.
There were a lot of gorgeous body horror panels in this (I do love comics with aesthetic body horror).
I could easily read more volumes set in this world!
