Welcome to Litsy!

Fun characters, great art, an exciting first half – and, unfortunately, an utterly confusing second one.

At first I felt iffy reading this, didn't immediately catch me, but then one of the characters sees something odd and then everything boarded the train to crazy town. This is such a weird mystery and I'm looking forward to the next one, The Cursed Hermit!

I love the look of this graphic novel!

Reminiscent of Nancy Drew mysteries, if Nancy lived in a Cthulhu-esque, small, Nova Scotian town. Weird, beautiful, and fascinating. I found the unique way the author‘s told the narrative added to the unsettling atmosphere.

I can absolutely recommend this title. It‘s great for anyone who like Black Hole or similarly odd and disturbing titles. I‘m eagerly looking forward to the next volume.

I love the line work in this book. I‘m not really sure whose responsible for the illustrations but they‘re gorgeous! Matches well With the weird but interesting plot ❤️

It‘s like an adult Nancy Drew set in Nova Scotia. I‘m in!!

The blurb calls this "Nancy Drew meets David Lynch," which is pretty on the money. A group of small-town Nova Scotia teens try to solve the mystery of five connected disappearances which seem to implicate their whole town. Really weird and wonderful, and great for Twin Peaks fans. (Unfortunately, its 1960s aesthetic, while not offensive, doesn't do the sole character of color any favors.) Still a pick for me overall. #graphicnovel

The description says it's Nancy Drew meets David Lynch. I think it was too David Lynch for my tastes. The art style wasn't my favorite either.

Every time I get #bookmail my husband gives me the side eye and and makes fun of me, but he's an enabler! I would never have gotten the book on the right if he hadn't told me about it and HE was the one who requested the deluxe edition of Paper Girls despite my telling him they were on Hoopla. 😂

PS I totally love him for telling me about Missing Men... It's rocking the Nancy Drew vibe.
