Lethe: a graphic novella


In Greek mythology, the Lethe is one of the rivers that flow through Hades, the underworld. Its waters cause forgetfulness: the dead have to drink from this river to erase their memories of their past lives on earth.

This comic is a ghost story. But it's not about ghosts that wail in the middle of the night, float through the air, or throw furniture around. These ghosts are a bit more subtle, and they're a lot harder to hunt down.

Two young men go by the same name and rent the same boarding room, be it decades apart from each other. Mere coincidence? Or could there be something that connects them? Some kind of memory perhaps? After all, is your identity all your own?
