The creatures of the forest have never felt safer than when they discovered the long-abandoned manor by the woods. But their warm community is suddenly threatened when a family of humans invade their home. Pan and Wraith come up with a sinister plan to frighten the humans into leaving -- but what if the plan turns against them?
Vera Greentea really wants to buy a haunted house one day. In the meantime, she spends her time writing YA and middle-grade about witches, and pretending that the footsteps behind her are ghosts. (They're not. They usually belong to her rather large and clumsy cat, Caspian.) One day, though...
Vera Greentea's first traditionally published book is GRIMOIRE NOIR (July 2019, Macmillan/First Second), but she has been writing and self-publishing comics through her own imprint Greentea Publishing for several years. If you like spooky stories about the Day of the Dead, or demon cookbooks, or animals haunted by creepy spirits, find more of Greentea's writing at greenteapublishing.com.
I backed this on Kickstarter a while ago, and it turned out nicely. It's a short story, but the premise is solid and I like the art style a lot. Definitely no regrets about supporting this creative team :)
Wonderful illustrations and equally excellent story telling. I do find Vera's work entertaining and engrossing and looking forward to her upcoming stories.
