Picked up and read Hannah Eaton's haunting graphic novel over the weekend and found it unnerving, funny and moving. Yes, it is rude (even crude in terms of the sex stuff) but it is a touching representation of the scariness of life as teenager with an elegant cataloguing of monsters in 'myth' and real life. A beautiful debut graphic novel, wonderfully drawn and well-told. (
