The Black Holes. A Gift for the Ghost

1856. Instead of preparing for her first debut in high society, Young Teresa composes poems about death and stars. She is not interested in boring social conversations and would much rather talk to the living dead she met in the forest. 2016. Gloria, Laura, and Christina are trying to play punk rock: they have already come up with a cool band name, they have interesting lyrics, but their playing skills are lacking. Moreover, memories that shouldn’t exist have subtly intruded into their friendship: of events and people who lived in the distant year of 1856… “The Black Holes. A Gift for the Ghost” is a comic by Spanish self-taught artist Borja Gonzalez, which will captivate you with its wonderful combination of unique graphics and Victorian prose. This story unfolds across two time periods, separated by a gap of 160 years, and it is connected by a delicate bridge — the feeling that you were born in the wrong time and in the wrong place.
