The Red Mother is a horror mystery series about a puzzlemaker named Daisy. After losing her boyfriend and her eye in a violent attack, Daisy begins to see a mysterious red figure through her new prosthetic eye. This series has a strong premise and a story filled with conspiracies and a touch of body horror.
I really liked the main character, I’m a big fan of puzzles and locked room mysteries, so this aspect of the story was especially intriguing to me. The story starts strong but the pacing at times felt uneven. The horror is in the unseen forces pushing Daisy forward, deeper into the mystery of the red mother. Unfortunately some of the foreshadowing in the middle volumes give the game away pretty quickly and that detracted from some of the suspense for me.
Even with my hang ups the art is spectacular and the use of the color red is visually striking, especially at the end. I’m glad that I found this series, it’s a fun read with some wonderful art. It’s the type of story that I could imagine adapting well to the silver screen and to appealing to a wide audience if they can nail the pacing and keep up the mystery throughout.
