Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees

By Patrick Horvath

Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy Town in this twisted debut graphic novel

Don't. Murder. The locals.

This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong's cardinal rule. After all, there's a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you've worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie...the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.

So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook's own meets a grisly, mysterious demise--and you wouldn't blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree.

Cute critters aren't immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.

Customer Reviews

Page Turner

The cutesy animal art style and cheerfully drawn expressions is rather deceptive to the darker elements of the story. Like if Dexter was turned into cartoon. The twist and reveal makes it a page turner, trying to figure out who the other killer is alongside Sam. Highly recommend reading it. Only word of warning- this is not for children.
