DEEP DARK SC

Molly Knox Ostertag returns with a superb YA graphic novel. It’s intense stuff, covering themes of responsibility, belonging, identity, secrets and sexuality, all wrapped in a supernatural horror story (with a little romance on the side) that is masterfully executed. Mags and Nessa are childhood friends, but Mags stayed in their desert town while Nessa left. Mags has a dark secret kept in the basement, one she must feed, and cannot allow to escape. When Nessa returns to town with secrets of her own haunting her, the two reconnect and perhaps will find in each other the strength they need to survive.
