Shannon’s Reading List: The Keeper

The Keeper, a graphic novel by horror writer Tananarive Due and her partner Steven Barnes, is deep and top notch.

The afterword says this was originally intended to be a script for a screenplay and it shows. This graphic novel has a big screen feel and lots of layers.

The setting is giving me Candyman, with the urban myth inside the apartment building, and a bit of a Goonies vibe, with the motley crew of youth trying to figure out what the heck’s going on.

It’s going to be a re-read for me because it’s so rich with love and relationships I think I’ll get something new out of it each time.

I already started another book by this author that I’m also really liking.
