Read Because: browsing graphic novels shelf at..., paperback borrowed from the Timberland Regional Library
Review: Racism as horror: after what appears to be an extremist attack in her building, a young Muslim woman is haunted by the angers that reside there. The paratext attests that horror & politics in comics are rare and rarely successful, so I guess I'm glad this is making strides with its WoC leads. Otherwise, I'm not impressed: my takeaway from most American comics is that I don't like comics, and this is no exception; I should have DNF'd, but instead struggled through the art and typesetting, and found no scares here, which left just talky politics not strong enough to support the narrative.
