Soft Places by Betty Rocksteady

4.0

A hybrid prose/graphic novella. The transitions between the two formats is integral to the telling, not a gimmick. The story itself blends cosmic and very personal horror.

My first hybrid novel! It's 50% illustrated novel, 50% graphic novel, and 100% fun!
The story is great and the artwork is fun and retro-ish. Highly recommend!

This was a very weird, but heartfelt novella/graphic novel hybrid. The hybrid approach works and breaks apart the story nicely. I’ve read THE WRITHING SKIES so I already knew I loved Rocksteady’s writing style. The whole thing reads like a crazy dream and I loved every second of it. Betty- please make more strange, experimental works like this!
