Synopsis

WINNER OF THE OUTSTANDING MINI COMIC AWARD AT THE IGNATAZ AWARDS 2013

James and Alyssa are two teenagers who live a seemingly typical teen existence as they face the fear of coming adulthood. Forsman tells their story through each character's perspective, jumping between points of view with each chapter. But quickly, this somewhat familiar experience takes a more nihilistic turn as James' character exhibits a rapidly forming sociopathy that threatens both of their futures. He harbours violent fantasies and begins to act on them, while Alyssa remains as wilfully ignorant for as long as she can, blinded by young love.

Review:

'It's a startling book, as succinct as you like and more detached than you can imagine, told in eight-page sequences that were originally self-published as mini-comics. It's pocket-sized and black and white, told with a thin, often fragile line. It's as cold and it's empty, just like its protagonists. It will prey on your mind.' --- Page 45
