Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys meets a Canuck Stephen King (but without any weird sex stuff) mystery-horror, in a Nova Scotia version of Derry. Interlocking mysteries with many twists, turns, & fucked-up shit. Benefits from re-reading. The black and white pen and ink drawings are compelling. Set in 1996, before the advent of meddlesome smartphones, but one character does possess a (large & cumbersome) smartphone of sorts. I want to check out the other Hobtown books.
