I had the pleasure of speaking with Lucy Sulivan, author of "Barking" and "Shelter". Lucy told us about how she grew up in the UK and her inspirations for her graphic novels. 

BARKING
“A tale of grief, madness and the ghosts that haunt us”

SHELTER: EARLY DOORS 

"EARLY DOORS is the 1st of the SHELTER stories, a new -folk-horror series set in London in the late 60s/Early 70s. A world where the supernatural rubs shoulders with the mundane. Where whisper networks and the old ways control local governance and only that will see you through."
