His best friend left him to hang out with way cooler friends, his dad is the town sheriff, and wait for it―he lives in Blackwell, a town where all the girls are witches. But when his little sister is kidnapped because of her extraordinary power, Bucky has to get out of his own head and go on a strange journey to investigate the small town that gives him so much grief. And in the process he uncovers the town’s painful history and a conspiracy that will change it forever.

Reviews:

"Grimoire Noir is beautiful. So dark and magical and moving." ―Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians"Featuring a grayscale palette with striking daubs of color, the art is wonderfully atmospheric. Characters are impeccably styled with a keen sartorial eye...brooding gothic fare brimming with style.

"―Kirkus"An unusual, tense, and deeply atmospheric world full of stylish characters and forbidding places." ―Publishers Weekly"Murky scenes in black, gray, and subtle touches of luminous color add to the noir mood, while floating curlicues and dusky shadows give it an unmistakable macabre-fantasy feel." ―Booklist"This would be an interesting step up for fans of Ostertag’s The Witch Boy or a treat for graphic novel readers seeking a dark supernatural mystery." ―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

About the Author:

Vera Greentea is a sucker for witches―seriously, she’d watch or read anything with witches in it, even if it’s terrible. She’s best known for her dark fantasy comics, including Nenetl of the Forgotten Spirits and Recipes for the Dead. Vera does her best writing when it rains, lives with a klutzy cat that needs a helmet and a husband that doesn't, and owns a growing library that keeps overtaking more rooms. Grimoire Noir is her debut novel. Yana Bogatch is a freelance illustrator/character designer/comic artist currently residing in Toronto, Canada. She has a Bachelor's degree in Traditional Animation, and a background in music.
