Funeral of the Heart is Leah Hayes’ debut graphic novel, which combines full page illustrations with lengthy text captions. The illustration and text is white on black, so has a dark, claustrophobic feel to it, a forboding that isn’t helped by the nature of the short stories they’re illustrating. Hayes’ characters veer towards the strange, obsessing over the bizarre minutiae of their lives, making this book a short, dark and fascinating glance into the lives of people on the edge of society.
