When grieving, support can come in many ways. For Daphne, it came as a demon. Turn-of-the-century New York is a growing metropolis for many, but not for Daphne Byrne. After her father's death, her mother is drawn to a spirtualistic group that claims to speak to the dead. Daphne sees through their act right away, but something from the other side sees her too. Or someone? Daphne finds herself in new company, Brother. He offers support and encourages Daphne to stand up for herself...and to use the powers he has too to save herself and her mother. Daphne isn't quite sure what Brother is or wants. Is he a ghost? a Hallucination? A demon?
Kind of a mish-mash, storywise, with the tale of a young girl with a demonic friend intertwined with that of her mother, being taken advantage of a fake clairvoyant whose interests are considerably darker. I'll admit the story feels a bit uneven but overall I enjoyed it and I liked that Daphne used her dark powers to stop evil from happening to her and her mother. It's interesting that her new found dark powers concur with her awakening as a woman as well.
Kelley Jones art is a pretty great throughout. There are some deeply disturbing panels he created.
I'd recommend this if you like gothic horror stories with a feminist bent.… (mere)
