Full Description
High in the Ozarks, a lover's dream becomes a parent's nightmare in this gripping graphic novel from Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of the March trilogy
As the sun sets on the 1970s, the spirit of the Love Generation still lingers in one "intentional community" nestled deep in the Ozark Mountains. And after years without personal space or secrets of her own, single mother Haluska feels like she's losing her identity.
When Haluska stumbles across a cave hidden away from the eyes of the commune, she and her best friend's husband escape the impossible scrutiny by entangling themselves in an affair. When they're together, the whispers, rumors, and idealistic posturing that make up the fabric of their daily life melts away, and the two of them can be just themselves for a few stolen moments.
But their convenient love nest hides a much deeper secret, and when their young sons Jacob and Shane stumble across their hiding place, they uncover something far more sinister than a forbidden tryst . . Haluska will need to confront both herself and the terrifying indifference of her own community to save the boys from a long-slumbering evil that has been calling to her from the beginning.
Available in an all-new paperback edition with a new cover and back matter, the #1 New York Times bestselling cartoonist Nate Powell presents the haunting tale of intimacy, guilt, and collective amnesia which originates his multiple Eisner-Award nominated shared fictional universe also featured in Fall Through and Diana, available together for the first time across three books which will retroactively redefine the course of this Ozark fairy tale.
