The Me You Love In The Dark by Skottie Young

I was familiar with Young’s work from his superhero comics, and he did very well with those, despite the natural superhero imposed restrictions, so I was interested in checking out how he does with completely original material. Turns out he does pretty well.
This macabre love story or this haunting haunted tale or this relationship cautionary story was perfectly entertaining and nicely told.
The protagonist of it, Ro, is an artist who fears she may have become an arteest, pretentious and out of ideas. She rents out a place reputed as haunted on purpose, to see if it sparks something inside her. Well, it does. Turns out the ghost is real, although not quite a ghost. And the relationship between Ro and him is real also, although far from conventional.
This is an atmospheric tenebrous tale about the dangers of loving in the dark or being in the dark about the ones we love.
Nice quick read. Quite gothic. Quite fun. Recommended.
