The Sacrifice of Darkness by Roxane Gay
2.0
“The Sacrifice of Darkness“ by Roxane Gay, with art by Tracy Lynne Oliver is a graphic novel set in a place where the sun no longer shines.
When a miner flies a spacecraft into the sun, the light is extinguished. The people in the town have to learn how to create other kinds of light for comfort and sanity. The wife and son the miner left behind are vilified for his actions and the offer to sacrifice them is made, but they refuse. The story parallels the miners life as well as his son's life. Will the sins of the father be revisited?
I wanted to like the story, but it had a really nonsensical premise. The art was kind of sketchy and drab also. It’s based on a short story. Perhaps the short story is better
