Graphic novel spotlight

 

Twistwood Tales by A.C. McDonald

Let's start by stating this plainly - this book as a bit weird. If you like a straightforward narrative this is not the book for you. But if you're cool with strangeness, if you loved "Gravity Falls" and especially "Over the Garden Wall", then this is the book for you. It's a collection of web comics so there is no narrative, just moments and recurring characters. Some pages are one-off gags and puns, mostly darkly humorous. Other pages are a reflection on the nature of existence and a plea to be kind to yourself. This is a book you could return to time and again, always finding the thing you need be it a simple laugh or some reassurance in a hard time.
