Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees

Every Perfect Town Has Its Secrets. This One Has a Serial Killer.
Don’t. Murder. The locals.
Winner of the 2025 Harvey Award for Book of the Year, Patrick Horvath's acclaimed horror sensation blends the charm of a cozy woodland tale with the chilling tension of a psychological thriller.
Welcome to Woodbrook, a peaceful town where everyone knows their neighbors, life moves at a gentle pace, and nothing bad ever seems to happen. Samantha Strong couldn't be happier. She's a beloved member of the community, a successful hardware store owner... and a meticulous serial killer who carefully keeps her dark compulsions far away from home.
But when another killer arrives in Woodbrook and threatens the perfect life Samantha has worked so hard to maintain, she'll have to decide just how far she's willing to go to protect her carefully crafted world.
Equal parts unsettling, darkly funny, and impossible to put down, Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is an award-winning modern horror classic that has captivated readers with its unforgettable premise, stunning artwork, and razor-sharp storytelling.

I received this DRC from NetGalley.
I liked the juxtaposition between the illustration style, which reminded me of old children's books, and the serious tone and gruesome scenes. My only question is why most of the animals walk and talk like people, but some animals are just regular animals. It needed to be that way in order to have the comparison between Sam and other bears, but it just seems odd, especially since they're in such close proximity.

Adorable and enchanting, the most adorable serial killer story I've ever read!
Dark, gory, and so pretty.
This graphic novel was certainly graphic! Didn't seem complete and can't find another edition in my library catalog.
