nOne of the most affecting graphic novels Ive read in some time. Youll root for Kirah as she navigates a countys institutional racism, her mysterious family history, and brutal Gatorman murders, written and artistically rendered with care and love and righteous anger. Dont miss this one. -PAUL TREMBLAY, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and The Cabin at the End of the World n nA gripping graphic horror novel set in the Florida bayou, following a young biracial woman as she uncovers her estranged fathers role in a grisly hate crime. n nKirah was born from an improbable interracial relationship that, in central Floridas infamous Asurupa County, defied all the odds. But her idyllic childhood was shattered by an urban legend come to life. The Gatorman was a nightmare on the lips of kids and grown-ups alike all the way back to Jim Crow: a monster with the body of a man, the head of an alligator--and a taste for Black children. Thats who crawled into Kirahs window when Kirah was just five years old. According to the police, it was Kirahs own father who put on that gator mask and tried to kill her.n nTwenty years later, Kirah works hard to build a life unburdened by the traumatic events of her childhood. Just when it seems like shes managed to find her stride, her dad, fresh out of prison, crashes back into her world with a chilling message: Hes coming for you.n nFinally forced to face the hideous family history shes been avoiding, Kirah sets off to discover where, and who, she truly came from. And the more she learns, the more disturbing the whole picture becomes. Turns out theres a lot more to the Gatorman than Kirah thought, and even worse: he isnt through with her just yet.n nA clever hybrid of swamp noir, slasher horror, and social satire--and brought to life by Camilla Sucres vivid illustrations--Mama Came Callin is a story about family and legacies, both the ones we inherit and the ones we cant escape.n
