The Me You Love in the Dark, Volume 1

This was an interesting read. It’s a quick, horror graphic novel that would be ideal to read during the fall or spooky season. It features our MC who is a painter and is needing to find new inspiration so she rents a “hanuted” house and she gets a little more than she bargained for.

The Me You Love In The Dark, is a beautiful, dark, and disturbing story of discovery, love, and terror about an artist named Ro purchasing a haunted house to work on her next series of paintings. The house is truly haunted however, by a possessive demon. Like Skottie Young and Jorge Corona's previous collaboration this is about an abusive relationship, mixed this time with fantasy-horror instead of fantasy-adventure. In many ways, this is a story of possession, but not in the typical horror sense. The domestic drama is the truly frightening feature of this story, as RO's muse turns out to be an abusive and controlling lover from the beyond. Sure, this story isn't subtle but it worked. And the art - the color and linework by Jorge Corona - was simply astounding. It's both expressive, and creepy, and a joy to behold. For fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.
