“Emotionally rich, wonderfully weird, and wholly original.”

Soft Places is a novella/graphic novel hybrid, written and illustrated by Betty Rocksteady

Johnna is found naked, wandering the streets with a mysterious head injury. Seemingly psychotic, she’s forced into the care of perverted psychiatrist Dr. Gonne. She must escape his clutches and return to a strange place she only half-remembers.

“Emotionally rich, wonderfully weird, and wholly original.”
—Danger Slater, Wonderland Award winning author

“The rationing of the illustrated pages is masterfully handled, blowing open the text not unlike when the IMAX scenes of a movie kick in, or when the murky 3-D glasses come off. Recommended for readers looking for something a little different.”
—David James Keaton, author of Headcleaner

“I freaking loved this. It perfectly blends mystery, unease, and disgust with surreal imagery and FANTASTIC drawings. A lovely, lovely, lovely book.”
—Somer Canon, author of The Hag Witch of Tripp Creek
