It’s 1973, the town of Baths, cozy middle-of-nowhere American heartland. Traveling musician Wegg rolls in, content to busk for a beat and be on his merry way once more. That is, until he meets Mr. Neighbor, the disarmingly sweet man made of cloth who offers him company and a place to stay. As the two grow closer, they click together just right, each harmonizing with the other's most secret self. Yet their growing romance is haunted by uncertainty and mystery...
There's the town itself, plagued by repeated, ritualistic murders by the elusive Baths Heartbreaker. Then there's Neighbor, whose cheerful demeanor never falters, but who disappears like clockwork every month. And Wegg, who lives as though he's on borrowed time―what exactly is he afraid will catch up to him?
A twisting graphic novel of love and deceit, all threaded together with lush psychedelia, folk horror, and a heaping helping of mirth. …

God what a book. My only wish is that it were longer to give the breakneck plot a little more time to cook. As is, the (t4t!!!!!) romance is endearing and the art is so captivating and unique that I know I’ll be coming back to read it again and again.
Wow wow wow! So excellent, vibrant, and heart wrenching! I fell in love with all of the characters, the story, and the art. Despite the themes, I was really touched by this story and couldn't stop reading it once I started! I will definitely be picking up a physical copy ASAP!!!
