A review by saidtheraina
Bayou, Vol. 1 by Jeremy Love

4.0

Really engaging world. I love the way that Love draws nonhuman characters.
Two little girls play by a spring, and one of them disappears. The other girl's father is wrongfully blamed. Racism, lots of blood, and a pretty horrifying dinner table all come into play.

The mixed-media effect of the illustrations is really interesting too - many panels include visible pencil line tracings.

It's all about the monster/creatures for me, tho.
