"Brilliantly paced with non-stop scares. Do yourself a favor and buy this book." -Horror Talk

“ The writing, by Jordie Bellaire, doesn’t give us any easy answers. The art, by Vanessa Del Rey, is reminiscent, with its muddy murk and startling colors, of 30 Days of Night. It gives us the impression that every scene is lit incompletely by flashlight and that anything could jump out of the darkness.” —Ars Technica

"Image's powerful series Redlands highlights the link between womanhood and witchcraft, showing the misogyny behind the mythology... In a disturbing, beautiful way, co-creators Jordie Bellaire and Vanesa Del Rey's Redlands out today from Image revels in the idea that magic is born from unholy contracts between the devil and clever women." -io9
