Coffin Hill

Coffin Hill Volume 1: Forest of Night by Caitlin Kittredge, 168 pages

When a magic summoning goes horribly wrong and results in the death of one of her friends, Eve Coffin leaves her town behind. Years later she returns to find that the darkness she summoned had not be contained as she planned.

If you removed the marriage part of the movie Sweet Home Alabama and added a dark Gothic twist to it, I am pretty sure you would get this book. A young woman with a history in a small town leaves to make it big before circumstances force her to come back home. It has all of the same romantic themes as well.

This was on the same table as Rat Queens, so I am assuming the same patron left it behind. What really drew me to this graphic novel though was the cover.
