Heaven, West Virginia

Another graphic novel from Oni Press so I thought it would be worth a shot.

A fascinating journey through a young person’s journey after the death of his father who wasn’t the good man that everyone said he was, in this I can really sympathise.

Lamont goes to live with his Aunt in Heaven, West Virginia, a person who is the opposite of her brother, caring, supportive, but still brooks no rubbish.

Whilst exploring the forests and meadows surrounding their house Lamont is followed by a darkness in the shape of a wolf, never quite able to face it, always overwhelmed by it.

A book of revelations, acceptance, change, and grief.

The illustrations support Lamont’s raw realisations about who he is and what is father subjected him to, and the growth that a calm space with supportive people can start off.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
