Reviews
"Eisner Award-winning colorist Bellaire's debut writing effort is a stellar feminist occult horror comic... The spine-tingling adventure is filled with examples of sexual harassment, such as a principal propositioning one of his female students for sex, adding emotional terror to the spooky mix. Monsters abound, but even the supernatural characters evoke humanity and empathy. Del Rey's fine-lined watercolor-style art makes even gore look gorgeous and sets an ominous mood which elevates the suspense. This dark campfire tale is both politically relevant and terrifying." -Publishers Weekly
"What a writhingly dark bite of atmosphere, I'm hungry for more!" -Ming Doyle
"Brilliantly paced with non-stop scares. Do yourself a favor and buy this book." -Horror Talk
"Incredibly empowering and perfectly timed for the current state of the Union." -NYLON Magazine
"Delivers equal amounts of adrenaline and moody atmosphere." -Impulse Gamer
"Image's powerful series Redlands highlights the link between womanhood and witchcraft, showing the misogyny behind the mythology... In a disturbing, beautiful way, co-creators Jordie Bellaire and Vanesa Del Rey's Redlands out today from Image revels in the idea that magic is born from unholy contracts between the devil and clever women." -io9
