Description
Blackwood follows in the footsteps of Hannah Eaton's critically acclaimed debut, Naming Monsters. In this gripping graphic novel, Eaton weaves a complex tale of two murders that echo each other across 65 years, set against the atmospheric backdrop of an ancient woodland. As past and present collide, the town's dark secrets begin to surface, revealing a web of local politics and human intrigue that will stop at nothing to preserve its identity. Through the eyes of Peg, a 93-year-old woman, and her great-grandson Mason, we glimpse the intricate lives of those living in this small English town. Eaton masterfully explores the tensions between tradition and progress, as the town's history and mythology are slowly unraveled, revealing a sinister truth that threatens to upend everything.
