That&#8217;s not uncommon. However when she 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 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 black and white tones.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a comics missionary this a perfect book to recommend to crime-fans, thriller-aficionados, and all other acquaintances.
