Overview
In this lush and romantic queer horror graphic novel, a troubled teen disappears from his small town-sending his loved ones on a paranormal journey to bring him home. Noah is heartbroken. He returns from Bible camp to find that Alex, his secret boyfriend, has had a breakdown and disappeared. He wishes more than anything that he hadn't left that day. Sky is determined. She'll stop at nothing to find her childhood friend, even if it means alienating the people she loves. Izzy is ashamed. She knew something weird was going on with Alex, and she didn't say anything to her boyfriend, Jamie-Alex's twin brother. If she had, would Alex still be here? Jamie is angry. Angry at Alex for being gone, angry at himself for not noticing something was wrong, and angry at his long-dead mother, Desdemona, who had problems of her own. But what if there was something more to Desdemona's demons? Why is Jamie seeing her ghost? And can he get past his hatred of her if it means finding out what happened to his brother?

Author Information
Keezy Young is an award-winning and Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist and illustrator who writes and draws comics and graphic novels. They enjoy writing mystery, horror, love stories, and ghosts, and their vibrant retro color palettes and strong sense of linework help to bring their stories to life. Their work is character-focused, and they often explore LGBTQIA characters and themes. Mental illness is also an important focus in many of their stories. Outside of drawing and making comics, they spend most of their time watching horror movies, listening to oldies tunes, and waiting impatiently for the sun to come out in the Pacific Northwest.
