The Rangeroads is a graphic novel that follows Cai Monkman, a Cree-Métis teenager who becomes lost in the network of rangeroads outside her hometown in rural Alberta. The roads morph into a place both familiar and strange as she travels, encountering spirits, albino moose, and haunted pioneer shacks. At the same time, two lab assistants from the Beaverlodge Research Station investigate the sudden levitations of barley crops and a prophetic voice that phases in and out on a Grande Cache Radio station.

"One could cross over. One girl"

Eerie tale set in the Peace River country near Beaverlodge, Alberta, and the landscape is very much part of the story! The Beaverlodge Research Station is real, but in this story, as well as agriculture they are investigating the paranormal. One scientist is being haunted by a devil, and a local teenager has disappeared into a paralell "country". The art is very expressive, especially people's faces, and little details, but there were a couple panels where I wasn't sure what was being depicted (it's all b&w line drawings). This is unusual and a rare find, definitely check it out if you appreciate authenticity with a good dose of spooks
