Thoughts on The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel

I’ve been in the mood for fantasy stories and mermaids lately, so I was happy to get The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel . It is written by Rhonda Cleary, and the artwork is done by Valentina Brancati, Andrea Greppi, Lorenzo Fornaciari, and Marco Leoni.

Rain crackles on the sidewalks

As the thunder bellows and roars.

Cars hiss by on the wet streets

As fallen leaves soar.


Lightning flashes in the clouds

Puddles form in the mud

As raindrops splash ripples in them together.


The scent of asphalt and rain

Fills the cool, humid air

As God’s rain calms my restless soul

And washes away my despair.
