Shadows Become You

A psychological horror graphic novel.

Lily is an alienated young woman struggling to survive in a crumbling rust belt city. Past trauma has fractured her persona into two identities: Lily, a mild-mannered pushover and waitress, and Rose, a woman who gets what she wants.

At the bar where she works, Lily and her friends drink a serum which provides them a temporary transformation. They become strix, flesh-eating owl creatures who hunt at night. Her hunger for human flesh grows with the addictive nature of the serum. When she meets a man she can't help but fall for, she's forced to confront the paradox of her humanity and the monster she's become.

Shadows Become You was nominated for an Ignatz Award in 2021. ✶
