In Utero

More about the book

Akira meets Aliens, and Annihilation means Evangelion, in this coming-of-age monster tale from award-winning graphic novelist Chris Gooch. Twelve-year-old geek Hailey is dumped unceremoniously by her mum at a holiday camp in a dilapidated shopping mall. Alienated from the other kids, she connects with an eerie older teen named Jen... but soon dark horrors awaken, and the two new friends are caught up in a terrifying battle between two monstrous creatures who have been lying dormant for years. One of Australia's most acclaimed young graphic novelists, Chris Gooch expertly crafts a taut and intimate thriller about mothers and daughters, the monstrous and the mundane, and the power of friendship in the midst of violence.
