Books like Alabaster by Caitlín R. Kiernan
For as long as she can remember, Dancy Flammarion has fought monsters, slashing through demons and other dark entities that are weaponised by forces beyond her control. In a series of brutal encounters, she has carved a bloody trail across a world besieged by the unseen.
Now, for the first time, Dancy stands on her own. Without allies to back her, the wolves—wolf‑like beings or werewolves—close in, and the looming threat becomes personal. A tense, harrowing struggle unfolds as she confronts both the supernatural and the isolation that comes with her lone battle.
Set in a grim, Georgia‑like landscape, the story blends elements of horror, demonology, and fantastical fantasy in a graphic‑novel format that reflects her relentless fight against the dark.
