I read the novel version of this story last year. It was one of my anticipated reads, but it was such a disappointment. I decided to request the graphic novel version on NetGalley, and while the story was the same, the illustrations added a better experience to it.

Shoutout to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for this ARC! I was so excited to see that Hide by Kiersten White was becoming a graphic novel. I think it is such a good book for this medium. I read Hide as an ARC in 2021 and I absolutely could not put it down. This adaptation was no different. The concept of a game of hide and seek in an abandoned amusement park is already fascinating, but add in potential paranormal events and people who are desperate to win the cash prize, you have yourself a good horror. When Audrey realizes that the estate needs a gardener, Josiah answers the call, and the lower-class gardener’s presence—bringing more to the fore the same-class but servant-like Marion, Audrey’s late-husband’s cousin—begins to complicate everyone’s lives. While Simon is innocent in his voyeurism and underground burrowing, insofar as he never acts on his desires, this is then juxtaposed with Josiah’s less-educated and much more youthful innocence: the wide-eyed, believe-all-you-tell-me sort that takes words at face value, an innocence that longs to explore. Both of these get tested and pitted against one another in a theatrical and truly psychoanalytical way; indeed, while immersed in this, my first Unsworth, I read somewhere that this was an early, minor work of his. I can only imagine how his insights into human nature have grown with his subsequent books. The gardens of the state are a fecund wilderness, Eden after the Fall, whose plant and bird life are described in detail by the observant Simon. Simon lives with his dominant sister Audrey whose dead husband had owned the house and estate. Also resident as an unpaid servant is Marion, a young relative of Audrey’s dead husband. The employment of Josh as a gardener sets in play a series of events culminating in disaster.oddly gripping. it is hard to place when exactly it is supposed to take place. jukeboxes, jeans and Eartha Kitt are mentioned, yet the attitudes of the characters suggest earlier times. The story was fast paced, full of twists and turns with vibrant characters and nail biting suspense. I loved how the setting of Chicago was evoked throughout the story and played an integral part of the solving of the case.

Hide was tons of fun. I just read another book that centered around a groups of kids dying in an amusement park and it was a big let down. So, I was 100% into the twist of this book. If all the world is hell and evil is all around them, what else can they do but try to help each other?This was once again an amazing story! I felt like it followed the novel fairly well. Having read it last year I can’t recall all the finer details but the story at large stays the same and even knowing what happens I still found myself taken by surprise on occasion. The colours were vibrant and each panel gave the feel of an amusement park, despite its disuse and disrepair. This novel felt lively and exciting and as events became distinctly less so, the panels followed suit. suuuuch slow pacingbut i will say this - the opening prologue is a perfect first chapter. absolute perfection. so its really too bad the rest of the book falls so short of it.

If you’re gonna use a well-known city, and you’re gonna set your story’s events in well-known places within that city, you’ve got to present the environment reasonably accurately. An author who does so can use that to evoke, through use of a base of common knowledge of the city, a feeling of a real place.

I'd wanted to read the full-length novel this graphic adaptation is based on since its release but I hadn't yet gotten around to doing so. I'm not sure if I'll return to it as, in my opinion, this media seemed like the perfect way in which to tell this horrifying tale.

An Ode to the Horniest Sitcom Parents, the Belchers and the Wilkersons By Clare Martin April 11, 2023 | 10:40am As someone that's not big on graphic novels... (let's face it this is only my 8th) I was obsessed with this one, once I started it I couldn't put it down. The imagery is amazing and I couldn't believe how many of the images were exactly what I had pictured.
