As ever, we live in hope\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n<p>Troubled teenager <em>Mia Fleming<\/em> doesn&#8217;t like her new stepmom, <em>Suzanne<\/em>. That&#8217;s not uncommon. However, when the sulky brat steals Suzanne&#8217;s diary, makes prank calls and snoops in her closet, she sets in motion a storm of bloody violence and terrifying consequences for her friends, her family, and ultimately the entire town of Seaside Heights, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Lapham has always had a chillingly direct line to contemporary America and his skill in exploring and exhibiting the simmering violence in that too-often dysfunctional society is put to efficient and engrossing effect in this fascinating blend of psycho-thriller and teen-slasher tale, drawn with simple, provocative clarity in moody, powerful monochrome tones.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a comics missionary and ardent advocate of adventures other than superheroic, this is an ideal book to recommend to crime-fans, thriller-aficionados, and all other acquaintances.
