The Lagoon

The Lagoon | Lilli Carre

5 posts | 7 read | 5 to read

A haunting, lyrical graphic novel debut. A family is seduced by the song of the Creature from the Black Lagoon in talented young cartoonist Lilli Carre's first long-form work, and how each member reacts to the Creature's siren call in The Lagoon is the crux of the story. Carre experimented with nib pens and brushes while drawing this black-and-white graphic novel, giving the art a different feel from her previous, Eisner-and-Harvey-Award-nominated story, The Tale of Woodsman Pete. Lagoon was influenced by the films Creature from the Black Lagoon and Night of the Hunter, but reads more like the gothic family narratives of Flannery O'Connor. Rhythms - taps, the ticking of a metronome - are punctuated by silences that pace this "sound"-driven story.

Read this last night for the #summersendreadathon @Clwojick is having.
This was a weird book and the art was okay but I didn‘t know what was going on for most of it and then it ended.l out of nowhere.

Clwojick 😂I find this is a common thing with graphic novels. I‘ll often pick them up for the artwork, and end up being totally let down by the story. The artwork often makes up for it though. 5y

allureofbeauty @Clwojick it was an impulse pick at a library sale anyway but I did have somewhat higher hopes lol 5y

I wish this book was longer! 💔 Dementia, secrets, a haunting sound that lures people to a watery grave: The Lagoon is a spooky short that would feel right at home alongside the beautifully stark, psychologically loaded horror stories in Through the Woods. 👻

DreesReads What a gorgeous cover! 8y

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I'm sold! Sounds great. 8y

Jokila @AudreyMorris it's the prettiest, isn't it? 😍🌸💕 8y

Jokila You'll enjoy it if you liked Through the Woods! @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian 8y

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @Jokila I loved Through the Woods, so I bet I'll like this too! 8y

The Lagoon | Lilli Carre

Meh

so-so

This short graphic novel has a southern gothic feel to it. I loved the illustrations and the premise, just wished there was a bit more to it.

Humanatea That's how I felt! For a comic based in sounds, I felt like it needed more pauses, more quiet frames 8y

Eyelit Yes! @Humanatea 8y
