From New York Times bestselling and Eisner award-winning Black Hammer creator Jeff Lemire comes this ambitious and haunting graphic novel about family, mourning, and reality.
 
A lonely building inspector still grieving the loss of his puzzle-loving daughter receives a mysterious phone call one night from a girl claiming it’s her and that she’s trapped in the middle of a labyrinth. Convinced that this child is contacting him from beyond this world, he uses an unfinished maze from one of her journals and a map of the city to trace an intricate path through a different plane of reality on an intense and melancholy adventure to bring his daughter back home.

      "When is it too late to try and find the starting point and begin again?" asks Lemire in this surreal journey through one man's loss, memories, and grief. At the outset, readers meet Will, a man whose life has become nothing but routine, spending day after day on autopilot--something he begins to think is a kind of death itself--and at first it seems no one else in the comic is of consequence. Things take a turn for the strange when Will answers, impossibly, a call from his daughter Wendy, a master of mazes and puzzles, who has been dead for a decade. Lemire, in his trademark watercolor and loose lines, charts a path through Will's maze of grief, seeking the center of all things where he finds what he needs, though perhaps not what he knowingly sought. A good fictional read-alike for readers of Tom Hart's memoir about the death of his daughter, Rosalie Lightning (2016).
