YA
Illustrated by
Ted Naifeh.
In Episode Two of the series, Ann is betrayed by Keith; Justin falls in love with Lucy; Dale keeps nightly trysts with some faeries; and Rue cheats on Dale with Tam. Plot and action drive this graphic novel that uses supernatural horror as metaphor for adolescent angst. Naifeh's illustrations are dark, threatening, and delicious, all fangs and fingernails, pointy ears and scowls.
