Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter—well, they know him a little, anyway. Some met him in childhood; some met him months ago. And Walter’s always been a little…off.
But after the hardest year of their lives, nobody was going to turn down Walter’s invitation to an astonishingly beautiful house in the woods, overlooking an enormous sylvan lake. It’s beautiful, it’s opulent, it’s private—so a week of putting up with Walter’s weird little schemes and nicknames in exchange for the vacation of a lifetime? Why not?
All of them were at that moment in their lives when they could feel themselves pulling away from their other friends; wouldn’t a chance to reconnect be…nice? In The Nice House on the Lake, the overriding anxieties of the 21st century get a terrifying new face—and it might just be the face of the person you once trusted most.

Read for the Realm Of Comics Book Club
4.5
It started off at a 4. As with many of my Realm of Comics reads, discussion will open my eyes to new things/concepts I didn't catch or it will firmly keep me in the very place I was at upon finishing the read.
I really do think you have to go into this read blind. You have to experience it all brand new. I wasn't a fan of the art. The story however, is special. The setup is there to go in many different ways. I walked away not knowing what to believe and what to not believe. This bumped it up to 4.5.
The Nice House on the Lake Vol 1 is an excellent collected edition beginning a horror comic series. A bit LOST meets THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD, this series has kept me guessing and consistently drawn me with the development of each character. If you're in to locked room mysteries and postapocalyptic stories, I think you'll really enjoy this one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
