Graphic Novels

The Dire Days of Willoweep Manor
Teenage Haley is obsessed with all things Gothic, but never imagined she’d experience them in real life, until she rescues a drowning young man and wakes up in a 19th-century estate complete with brooding gentlemen, sinister servants, and an actual ghost. But all is not as it appears, as Haley learns she has not been swept into the past, but instead into a strange universe all its own. Written by me, drawn by Christopher Baldwin.

Baldwin’s expressive full-color art—reminiscent of Kate Beaton’s Hark! A Vagrant—and Garrity’s text both delight in their humor, conveying accentuated reactions, ranging from shocked to stoic, that lean into gleeful absurdity. A romp made especially enjoyable by Haley’s indulgent delight in Willowweep’s ability to make her literary dreams a reality.

-Publishers Weekly

This well-paced and humorous graphic novel will appeal to readers looking for a triumphant story about being in charge of your own narrative.
