Ghost Stories by Whit Taylor

Ghost Stories

by Whit Taylor

Ghost Stories is a graphic novel collection offering three haunting explorations. Granted the chance to meet three of her dead idols in "Ghost," the author's cartoon-self embarks on a journey to remote and unanticipated landscapes, in a story of self-discovery and healing. In "Wallpaper," a child tells the story of a household move, remodel, and loss through the lens of flashbulb memory. And in "Makers," two girls with an unorthodox friendship make a rocky transition into adulthood. Throughout each tale, ghosts exist as past selves and remnants of past relationships that are met with inquiry, resolution, and personal rebirth.

Meh, honestly this was not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting actual ghost stories... Not... this... The artwork was a bit... dare I say childish? Yeah I ended up skimming the last story because 1) I couldn't read the text on my tablet at all and 2) I had kind of lost interest. A shame.
