About this item

Veronica Mars by way of Lovecraft in this thrilling lightly gothic YA graphic novel, for those who love a dash of campy and a dollop of darkness.. It's just a bedtime story ... .right?. Parents in Pensmouth tell their children a devious bedtime tale - their beloved town is riddled with flesh-takers, monsters who snatch unruly kids off the street if they don't go to sleep on time.. Vivian Vance, amateur teen detective, heard that story as a kid and never believed it.. When Vivian takes on a case in the Pillars, a downtrodden and long-ignored community beneath the highway, she stumbles on a dark secret about her town's history and finds herself face-to-face with those horrifying monsters. Saved from certain death by a group of kids from the Pillars, Vivian decides her next job will be exposing the flesh-takers to the world--at any cost.
