The Keep

"Originally written as a movie script, The Keeper is the first graphic novel from horror duo Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes. Orphaned Aisha goes to stay with her grandmother, who is soon on the brink of death. It’s only the Keeper, the dark spirit that has protected Aisha’s family for generations, that can keep Aisha safe, but at what cost? In the tradition of Lovecraft Country and Get Out, Aisha’s horror is rooted in generational trauma and the constant struggle for survival. Emotional, creepy, highly imaginative and brilliantly illustrated."

"I'd want to show him a good time by giving him "The Keep," by Jennifer Egan. It's so wild, weird and hard-charging it would guarantee to blow his mind."

"everyone's out here loving Jennifer Egan and somehow not reading "The Keep," her best and weirdest novel. She gets away with things no one has any right to get away with; that's my favorite kind of book."
