M Is for Monster by Talia Dutton
4.0

A cute but short comic about claiming your identity and about grief. This novel follows a reanimated corpse, who is told that she is Maura, a scientist's sister, but she doesn't have any memories of being Maura and is in fact pretty sure she's her own being. When Maura's ghost appears to her in a mirror, she is sure of it and has to decide how to proceed.
The novel deals with topics of grief, conformity to stay safe and being yourself and is a fresh and interesting Frankenstein-inspired story. The artstyle is cute and the character designs distinct. I really enjoyed reading it and I also liked the nonbinary representation in a side character.
