Night and Dana
Author(s): Anya Davidson
General Graphic Books | 09 - April
A creative coming-of-age story for the climate-change era, as a horror fanatic and aspiring special-effects maker finds inspiration as an activist. When a messy prank gets the wrong kind of attention, special-effects obsessives Dana Drucker and Lily Villaseñor must find a new creative outlet or leave high school without graduating. To save their diplomas, Dana and Lily join a local film class and soon start writing an eco-horror movie. A search for creepy locations leads Dana to Daphne Ocean, a Florida activist and self-proclaimed water witch. As shooting starts, filmmaking prodigy Lily doesn't seem to need Dana much anymore. Soon, tempers are flaring, and Dana's pushing away her old friend and her new mentor, Daphne. But as everything starts going up in flames, Dana also begins to forge her voice.
