What a creepy graphic novel with a jarring twist. I haven't read a graphic novel in a while and this one didn't disappoint. The use of black and white vs. colour and the way the colour intruded on the black and white as what was real and not real blurred was perfect. I took away themes of loneliness and isolation and the way our fears and fantasies can quite literally colour reality, for better or worse.
