Anyone who’s ever met Walter knows that he’s a bit eccentric. However, when old acquaintances of his are invited to spend a summer getaway with him at his secluded lake house, the opportunity seems too good to pass up.
To their horror, they soon realize though that they can never leave the property and slowly they try to unravel the house’s secrets and the reason behind their imprisonment.
The Nice House on the Lake, Volume 1 by James Tynion IV (writer) and Álvaro Martínez Bueno (artist) is an eerie and captivating comic that takes classic domestic thriller tropes and gives them a delightfully bizarre horror sci-fi twist.
If you enjoy psychologically-driven stories like me, you’ll probably have a good time with this one. It feels like you’re watching a social experiment, and it’s fascinating to see how people with all sorts of personalities react to the claustrophobia and boredom of isolation.
To top off, the artwork is incredible and includes some wonderfully grotesque body horror.
Overall, The Nice House on the Lake is an unnerving horror mystery filled with twists and turns. It’s still an enigmatic puzzle so far, but I’m curious to see how all the pieces will come together.
Thank you, NetGalley and DC Comics, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
