Review: Watersnakes

Watersnakes by Tony Sandoval
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was decent, but I feel like there was a lot of symbolism that was just lost on me.

It's a whimsical tale about two girls forming a friendship, one of whom has a bit of a teeth fetish? There's water and skeleton dogs and ethereal characters coming up from the depths.

The artwork is eerie but sweet, giving the characters elfin features, unrealistically thin figures and moist eyes. There's a dark, creepy quality to it which layers over the whimsy of the story quite well.

The story itself was interesting enough; short and sweet. I wish I hadn't read the blurb as I feel part of the story would have landed harder without foreknowledge of it.

All in all, this was a decent read to spend an hour or so with. Strange, but entertaining.
