Ghostwriter is a graphic novel translated from Spanish. It takes place in Barcelona in the 1940s, and references a real advice radio show that served as cultural propaganda for the Franco regime. I loved the stark black and white graphics with a touch of red. The story starts by making you root for the Laia, so that you're already on her side once you realize that she has... a dark side. Really enjoyed this, perfect for a spooky season and right after a trip to Barcelona!
