An all-new edition of the first book in
Sophie Campbell's critically acclaimed original graphic novel series, WET MOON!
With brand new covers designed by cartoonist Annie Mok (Screen Tests) and
special extras in the back, this edition is perfect for longtime fans and new
readers alike!
An unusually usual day-to-day story in
the Deep South, set in the gothic, swampy southern town of Wet Moon, a place
fraught with lousy love lives, teen angst, and shadowy locals. As Cleo Lovedrop
heads off for college at the local art school, she's haunted by her melancholic
past: a lost love, a lost child. Friends and enemies live their lives around
her, as trouble and dissent brews amongst them: an unseen social assailant
spreads slander about Cleo, she is forced to deal with her two brusque
roommates, and discovers unsolved mysteries about the girl who lived in her room
previously. Elsewhere, Trilby deals with unsettled emotional and sexual issues,
and keeping her secret habits hidden from everyone. And Audrey comes to the
realization that, despite all her efforts, she always causes her friends
distress, while Fern, a peculiar, deformed girl who lives in an isolated mansion
in the bayous, begins to notice Cleo and her friends. As the moon grows full and
lunar rays shine down, lunacy and moon-calves run free. Goths, friendship,
romance, sex, betrayal, gossip, cats, murder, guilt, a squirrel monkey, and all
the terrible and wonderful things people do to each other.
