Book Synopsis

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sophie Campbell's landmark series Wet Moon, the first of three softcover omnibus volumes collects the stories Feeble Wanderings and Unseen Feet, now in a larger trim size with newly illustrated covers and a never-before-seen introduction from Campbell herself.

An unusually usual day-to-day story in the Deep South, set in the Gothic, swampy southern town of Wet Moon, a place fraught with lousy love lives, teen angst, and shadowy rednecks. As Cleo Lovedrop heads off for college at the local art school, she's haunted by her melancholic past. Elsewhere, Trilby deals with unsettled emotional and sexual issues, and keeping her secret habits hidden from everyone. And Audrey comes to the realization that, despite all her efforts, she always causes her friends distress, while Fern, a peculiar girl who lives in an isolated mansion in the bayou, begins to notice Cleo and her friends. Goths, friendship, romance, sex, betrayal, gossip, cats, murder, guilt, a squirrel monkey, and all the terrible and wonderful things people do to each other can be found in the pages of Wet Moon.

Review Quotes

"It's a quirky, body-positive, slice-of-life comic about goths, friendship, sex, gender identity, and the creepy power of the small-town Deep South." -- "Book Riot"
