In this debut graphic novel, a young woman skips Sunday mass for the very first time and is forced to confront a lifetime of Catholic guilt...as well as the demon hell-bent on possessing her.
In her twenty-something years of existence, Catherine never skipped mass once. As a recovering Irish American Catholic, she has mostly traded the world of communion and confessionals for the “city-girl” struggle of work-life balance, family, and her relationships. The
only
thing she has not been able to shake is her fear that something bad will happen if she misses Sunday mass.
But her fears become a reality when she skips mass for the first time and discovers she is now being possessed by a demon claiming to be the prince of hell. As she takes matters into her own hands and attempts to exorcise these demons (both the paranormal and emotional kind), Catherine must face her buried guilt and what it
truly
means to be good.
A cathartic and engaging view into the messy life of an urban woman in her early twenties, Anna Meyer's
Saint Catherine
is truly a story of letting go of guilt and taking responsibility for your desires, hopes, and mistakes.
