Reviews
“Boasting striking body-horror and a powerful ‘smash the patriarchy’ message... One of the best horror comics out right now.” —Entertainment Weekly
"Bellaire's writing blends folklore with a contemporary urgency and Del Rey's art is beautifully, frighteningly immersive. A stunning debut." - Scott Snyder
"Read this beautiful, compelling, epic work, join in the chorus of this scream, and you will see that in the worst of times, our greatest witches do come true." -Tom King
"Nice f*cking job." -Warren Ellis
"A chilling, vibrant, angry debut comic from some of the best creators working in comics today. These pages burn with brilliant art and perfectly rendered characters. Witches and Florida are the peanut butter and chocolate that have been missing from comics (and my life). If you're looking for a horror book that will grab you from page one and won't let go, if you're looking for a comic oozing with topical, all-too-real nightmares, or if you're just looking for a rippin' yarn-pre-order Redlands at your local comic shop today." -Robbie Thompson
"Incredibly empowering and perfectly timed for the current state of the Union." -NYLON Magazine
