Graphic: The Novel
“All I would have to do is roll once, twice, maybe three times, and I could roll right into the grave with her. That’s all I would have to do. And I remember thinking two things as I lay in the grass by the bar contemplating joining my wife. First, that it was probably a good thing I didn’t let that woman hug me. And second, that I didn’t think I ever could feel as bad as I felt on that day. Little did I know how much worse it was going to get.”
Keven Renken’s sophomore novel, has something for everyone. It has love. It has loss. It has murder. It has mayhem. There might be superheroes. There might be vampires. There might be fairy tales. There might be children in peril. There might be a guy on a cross. There might be giants (Nope. Sorry. Just kidding about that last one.) There is a lot of contemplation of the mysteries of the universe. There is lots and lots of love directed toward one particular swear word. GRAPHIC is a novel that wishes to be a graphic novel. It is a graphic novel that dreams of being a novel. Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
