However, the lackluster black-and-white art (with bursts of emphatic red spattered about) doesn’t add anything to a narrative that already feels rushed. Taylor’s story is engaging in its mixing of diverse elements, especially his synthesis of the tales of the Anishinaabe with vampire legend. L’Errant and Tiffany’s relationship is refreshing: They are not romantically involved, and he, thankfully, doesn’t sparkle. Enter the shadowy and mysterious boarder, Pierre L’Errant, who’s returning to Otter Lake to settle unfinished business and unexpectedly helps Tiffany toward an important realization. In fact, she’s not thrilled with her life in general: Her mother abandoned her to start a new life, and she’s pretty sure her boyfriend, Tony, is cheating on her. Brimming with teenage angst, Tiffany isn’t thrilled with the situation.
With times being tough, her father decides to take in a boarder. Sixteen-year-old Tiffany lives in Otter Lake, Toronto, an Anishinaabe reserve, with her father and paternal grandmother. A troubled young girl and an old vampire cross paths in a graphic-format adaption of a 2007 novel by the same name.
