Bea is on the run. And then, she runs into Lou.


This chance encounter sends them on a journey through West Texas, where strange things follow them wherever they go. The landscape morphs into an unsettling world, a mysterious cat joins them, and they are haunted by a group of threatening men. To stay safe, Bea and Lou must trust each other as they are driven to confront buried truths. The two women share their stories of loss and heartbreak — and a startling revelation about sexual assault — culminating in an exquisite example of human connection.

From Eisner-award winning graphic novelist, Tillie Walden

“Intimate and compelling. A quiet powerhouse.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Carter ★★★★★

The way the West Texas landscape itself starts to feel like a character genuinely unsettled me in the best way, and I couldn't put it down once Bea and Lou's strange journey picked up speed. I ended up reading the last hundred pages in one sitting, completely lost in the eerie, shifting atmosphere.

Alexander C. ★★★★★

I picked it up for a weekend trip and didn't put it down until I finished it — the way the chance meeting between Bea and Lou pulls you into their strange journey feels almost cinematic. The West Texas setting is so vivid I could feel the heat on the page.

John A. ★★★★★

The way the West Texas landscape itself starts to feel like a character had me hooked by the second chapter. That chance encounter between Bea and Lou unfolds at a pace that keeps you guessing, and the strange happenings feel eerie without ever tipping into silly. I finished it in two sittings.
