Alena by Kim W. Andersson

4.0

The cover of this Swedish graphic novel reads very vampire to me, but it's not. It's a dark, unsettling horror comic, about a teenage girl haunted by her best friend/girlfriend who died last year, trying to deal with their unresolved romantic relationship and homophobic bullying from classmates at a snobby private school. It's sort of gothic, sort of dark teenage boarding school movie. Very quick and compelling read.
SpoilerIt does get bloody as the ghost of the best friend takes revenge on the main character's enemies
