This is a haunting tale, filled with the nostalgia of childhood. The wistful tune sung by the mysterious monster from the lagoon draws people to the dangers of the deep: "I wouldn't trust it, but that doesn't mean I can resist a lovely serenade when I have the chance to hear one".
Zoey manages to avoid its charms, but her life is still irrevocably changed by this beast.

The swamp monster saved this from one star. The artwork is pretty, but the story... well there isn't much a story. Her parents are dead! Nothing? Nothing? If there hadn't been that scene in the beginning where the mom is going on about her dad picking flowers I would've though this was two different houses.
A beautiful graphic novel. Full of dark negative spaces and mysteries. Enjoyed.
Tried to hard for a mystical ending. Typical.
