It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth is an autobiographical graphic novel published by Image Comics and created by Zoe Thorogood. The book follows six months of the creator’s life, a chaotic and dramatic six months, whilst also exploring her upbringing. Thorogood gets very dark in this comic, speaking openly about suicide and self-harm. Whilst it is bleak at times, the frank nature of this storytelling is something that should not be shamed at all. As it jumps between scenes, the narrative could be considered disjointed but that is entirely a creative decision. The intensity comes in waves but the plot is brilliant at both the quiet moments and at its noisiest. The progression in the book is subtle yet powerful, showing a beautiful change in the mindset of the writer.
