review:
You might think 'Blood Stain Vol. 1' by Linda Sejic is a horror title, and maybe it is, if your idea of horror is a story about a series of bad jobs.

Elliot Torres has a degree in chemistry, but hasn't found the right job for her degree. She finds an unusual ad on a bulletin board (do people still find jobs this way?), but the phone interview seriously creeps her out. But she needs to find a job. Her mother is ill and her sister and husband are doing all they can. The problem is that Elliot is bad at keeping jobs. We learn this through a series of flashbacks. Most of the time it's her fault, but occasionally it's not. Finally, she decides to revisit the creepy job. It's a one way ticket, so if things don't work out, what's a girl to do?

It feels like a really long set up. We see the creepy doctor on the cover, and he does show up early on, but then it's a lot of backstory about Elliot and her comedy of errors with trying to hold a job. I didn't hate that stuff. I actually kind of liked it, but I felt like I had been sold a different title than most of the one I got. It's still a fun title, and I'll try any future issues. I like Linda Sejic's art as well.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Image Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
