Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Stiefvater and illustrated by Morgan Beem is a graphic novel coming out October 13th! To promote the release of the book, DC is posting teaser excerpts each week. I missed last week, but I’m here for this week! As a fan of Maggie Stiefvater, I’m incredibly excited for this graphic novel. Everything from the art to the writing looks like it’s going to be one of those books that transports you to a magical place.
Here’s what the book is about:
Twins Alec and Walker Holland have a reputation around town. One is quiet and the other is the life of any party, but they are inseparable. For their last summer before college, the two leave the city to live with their rural cousins, where they find that the swamp holds far darker depths than they could have imagined.
While Walker carves their names into the new social scene, Alec recedes into a summer school laboratory, because he brought something from home on their trip—it’s an experiment that will soon consume him. This season, both brothers must confront truths, ancient and familial, and as their lives diverge, tensions increase and dormant memories claw to the surface.
Flipping through the preview pages below, I’m so excited to dig into this lush graphic novel. DC sent me a free copy of the book to review. Keep a watch out for my full review to come closer to the book’s release!
