From "choreomania" to coronavirus: an utterly original graphic novel about a newly urgent subject.

Getting a girlfriend is easy, according to Richard. All you need is papier mache, string, soft material, a balloon, some old fashioned bellows, and a good pair of scissors. The difficult bit is keeping her secret. This darkly funny story of obsession, beautifully crafted in embroidery and lino-cut, won the inaugural First Graphic Novel Competition.

Myriam is seeing things, and so can we, but her husband Fred is adamant it's all a lot of nonsense. But when she sees a young boy shut up in the house next door, she is determined to investigate. Gareth Brookes once again twitches the net curtains of the suburban south in this gloriously crayoned follow-up to the prize-winning The Black Project.
