Getting through high school is hard enough without being in love with the girl next door, especially when she likes you only as a friend.
Jason has this problem with Annie, but when she sneaks into his room late one night asking to sleep over in his bunk bed every night because she's afraid of a ghost in her room, he thought his luck was about to change. Alas, some mysterious shadow has fallen over Annie and their friendship starts to feel the strain.
As he struggles to maintain a balance between his respect for their friendship and his yearnings for her, he realizes there may be more to her silly ghost story than he knew and a dark secret from the past is revealed.
The Bunker’s art has a charmingly basic quality. Its story often feels disappointing for the same reason. However, the angle of sexualising a close friend as you grow into adulthood, admittedly, is an interesting one.
We met this author at supanova and I chose this one because I enjoy personal narratives with sexual tension.
Perhaps its that I rarely read graphic novels and comics, because when I do on occasions such as this one, it is a treat to observe cinematic storytelling in sensory elegance and emotion combined with beautiful artwork. I regard stories as successfully told when they stay with you for a long time and when you can recall emotions and (imagined) places in vivid detail.
