Ghost Sonata

A tale of a young man plunged into a family of despair and secrets from years gone past. Young Isaac Arkenholtz becomes an unwilling participant in the poison of lies and deceit that have invaded the family's home. Isaac falls in love with Adele, one of those that live in the house and now, he too, joins the legacy of torment that plagues the dwelling. The wish is that a love of truth can finally lift the depression but Isaac must make a choice that could forever plunge both his and Adele's life into one of hope...or misery. It is a life of pain and lost opportunities. Based loosely on the play by August Strindberg, this graphic novel is written by Gary Reed, known for his work on Renfield and Saint Germaine.
