An Aurora Grimeon Story: Will o' the Wisp

by Tom Hammond

This is the author’s first graphic novel, and I thought he did well telling the story through a mixture of horror and whimsical elements. And while I didn’t look anything about Hoodoo up prior to reading this, Tom Hammock seems extremely knowledgeable about the rules and from the Introduction, you read about how strongly he feels about sharing this information. I loved how passionate he was about what he was writing, and I feel it shows in the story.


I really loved that while Aurora was the main character, the story needed all of the residents of Ossuary Isle to help her learn and discover and grow. I liked watching her grow up and grow into the culture.

Megan Hutchison’s art was spectacular and worked so well for this novel.




It was pretty and disturbing and magical looking. I just loved it.


Together Tom Hammock and Megan Hutchison really made a fantastical, creepy story come to life, and I will be keeping my eyes on the lookout for future work by both of them.
