Mure, who we were the first to publish. This is the strongest line-up of stories Avery Hill has ever put together — if you like powerful writing, psychologically fascinating characters, amazing world-building, and epic scope, then we have it for you in Spring 2024!”
The first is a re release of Lucy Sullivan Barking, out late February.
A year after the death of her friend, Alix’s depression and grief still hound her in this personally-inspired graphic novel.
Loopy . . . cuckoo . . . stark raving. . . .
When the depression and grief Alix feels over the death of her friend overwhelm her, she’s institutionalized. But inside a psychiatric ward, things don’t get better for her—now she has nowhere to get away from her rapidly-spiraling thoughts. As Alix navigates disinterested attendants, group therapy, and isolation, she must build herself a new equilibrium and tame the black dog of her depression.
Inspired by her own struggles with mental health, Lucy Sullivan tells a powerful, emotional story about the problems that sometimes overwhelm us all—and the failures in the mental health system we depend on.
