Résumé :
Abby is settling into married life: making coffee, cooking for David and her stepdaughter Crystal, spending evenings curled up together in front of the TV. For a quiet woman without many friends, she's proud of the life she has built, and desperately wants to believe they will all be happy. But what really happened to Crystal's mother, the artist who no-one speaks of? What secrets does their strange house by the water harbour, and what of Abby's old dreams and fears... >Voir plus

Critiques, Analyses et Avis (1) Ajouter une critique
Abby is a young woman who seems a little lost in her life. She has just married a man who already has a child and is trying to settle into this new role, believing that she can be happy. However, the information about the death of the mother's child is vague and contradictory. And Abby sees Lady Grey, a knight and dragons returning in her dreams. All this gradually becomes tangled up and bizarre, culminating in a horrific ending. Beautifully drawn, this graphic novel alternates black and white drawings for Abby's real life and brightly coloured pages for her fears and dreams… pages that slowly blend together throughout the story. It's a strange story, but fascinating and beautiful to look at.

down by the front door like before,
but nothing came to greet me this time.)
And I just can’t shake the feeling…
…that there’s a guest in the house,
and I am being a terrible hostess.
Because now I hide from her,
buried beneath my blankets every night,
not even letting a scrap of skin show
above my covers.
Like I’m a child armouring myself
against a visiting witch.
I sweat. Wake stinking.
Sometimes, as I’m about to finally drift off,
I swear I can hear a voice hissing from the hallway…
“And this is the woman raising my daughter…
