Message: Graphic and Gothic Bizenghast by M. Alice LeGrow This graphic novel tells the story of an orphaned teenager named Dinah who is being raised by her aunt in a deteriorating mining town. They live in a remodeled reform school that is populated by ghosts that only Dinah can see.Her talent for seeing ghosts turns out to be quite a problem, and soon she is trapped into a contract that forces her to help lost souls reach peace. This task sends her on a series of suspenseful adventures to various mystical and dangerous locations. Bizenghast has a very gothic and dramatic tone that sets it apart from the bloody, slasher style of a lot of scary books. If you want a creepy read before Halloween, this graphic novel is elegantly scary and the artwork is gorgeous. http://www.tscpl.org/teens/comments/graphic_and_gothic/
