Horror fan? Lover of romance and fantasy? If so, Eisner Award-winning writer Skottie Young (I Hate Fairyland, Middlewest, Twig) and critically-acclaimed artist Jorge Corona (Middlewest, Transformers) have the perfect graphic novel for you. Introducing: The Me You Love in the Dark.
If you’re already on the lookout for books to read this spooky season, Image Comics has you covered with a seductive, horror-infused romantasy. From esteemed I Hate Fairyland writer Skottie Young and acclaimed artist Jorge Corona, The Me You Love in the Dark follows a young painter named Ro, who travels to an isolated, haunted Victorian house in the hopes that solitude will summon her muse. However, what she finds is something completely unexpected — and inherently dangerous.
The official synopsis for The Me You Love in the Dark reads: “Desperate to rekindle her creativity, a young painter named Ro retreats to a dusty, haunted Victorian house in the hopes that solitude will summon her muse. Instead she finds something else entirely—something watching, whispering, waiting in the dark. As her agents’ calls go unanswered and the pressure to produce mounts, Ro becomes entangled in a twisted romance with a mysterious presence that promises passion, purpose… and perhaps possession.”
