invented when Queen Victoria was on the throne. Like
"Frankenstein", the films have pushed the characters into the very
fabric of our society, so it is with great pride that we bring you
a visual treatment that is true to the original - made even more
exciting by the wonderous talent that is Staz Johnson!

slips out to walk the streets. Life after dark is a revelation!
When flirtatious Nazuna invites Ko to spend the night at her place
in an abandoned building, he's stoked! But then he awakens to
kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them... Is it
just the delicious taste of his blood that makes her meet him night
after night for late-night adventures, conversation and...naps? Or
something else? Then, when a cute girl from Ko's past shows up and
competes for his attention, his budding relationship with the
undead is put to the test!

An exploration of the work of Jewish women graphic novelists and
the intricate Jewish identity is complicated by gender, memory,
generation, and place-that is, the emotional, geographical, and
psychological spaces that women inhabit. Victoria Aarons argues
that Jewish women graphic novelists are preoccupied with embodied
memory: the way the body materializes memory. This monograph
investigates how memory manifests in the drawn shape of the body as
an expression of the weight of personal and collective histories.
Aarons explores Jewish identity, diaspora, mourning, memory, and
witness in the works of Sarah Lightman, Liana Finck, Anya Ulinich,
Leela Corman, and more. Memory Spaces begins by framing this
research within contemporary discourse and reflects upon the choice
to explore Jewish women graphic novelists specifically. In the
chapters that follow, Aarons relates the nuanced issues of memory,
transmission of trauma, Jewish cultural identity, and the gendered
self to a series of meaningful and noteworthy graphic novels.
Aarons's insight, close readings, and integration of contemporary
scholarship are conveyed clearly and concisely, creating a work
that both captivates readers and contributes to scholarly discourse
in Jewish studies, women's literature, memory studies, and
identity.
