In this episode, we look back at one of the best-reviewed books of 2023: A Guest in the House by Emily Carroll, published by First Second!
Shy, awkward Abby is newly married to widowed dentist David and adjusting to domestic life with him and his pre-teen daughter Crystal. But David's stories about his past wife, Sheila, don't add up. And there's more to Abby than meets the eye, as well – as becomes apparent when she strikes up a halting friendship with Sheila's ghost!
Can this gripping story survive a night in that haunted mansion of horror stories known as ... The Comics Canon?
