Description

THE BEAUTIFUL AND SUSPENSFUL REVIVAL OF A GOTHIC LOLITA, IN THE VEIN OF TIM BURTON.

One night, Alisik wakes up in a cemetery. Frightened, she tries to flee only to discover that nobody can see her, touch her, or help her. This is because Alisik is dead. Worse, she is trapped between worlds, between hell and paradise, awaiting the judgment of Mr. Mortis, which is slow to come.

Meanwhile, the cemetery faces destruction and Alisik and her new friends in the afterlife are bound to protect it. Luckily, Alisik has the help of Ruben, a young blind man, and the only person able to hear her. With Ruben as a light to guide her, Alisik has a chance to save the cemetery and find her way through the dark night.

"Very highly recommended...an original and outstanding new graphic novel series"
-Midwest Book Review
