"A cartoonishly adorable monster cast populate the brightly colored pages of this uplifting tale. Through earnest and optimistic depictions of found family dynamics, Davault presents the ups and downs of relationships while emphasizing openness, communication, and acceptance.""The charming, stylized art is set in pleasingly muted colors and dynamic layouts that keep the eyes moving from scene to scene...It's fun to imagine a world where humans and fantasy creatures exist in harmony, and Davault has done just that.""Readers who like their monsters cute as well as scary are in for a treat, as Davault fills her panels and montages with the (mostly) humanoid but variously horned, clawed, fanged, and multiheaded inhabitants of Mr. Halloway’s Home for Horrors...A warm play on the theme of inclusivity, with horrors more huggable than otherwise."
