  <default_description>Tthe second volume in a trilogy of graphic novels set in a fictionalized version of Lemire's hometown of Essex County, Ontario, Ghost Story follows the lives and relationship of brothers Lou and Vince Lebeuf over the course of nearly seven decades. In this volume, eldest brother Lou, now a deaf and lonely man, lives out his final days on his farm full of guilt and regret for the decisions he made that tore his family apart. From their childhood on the farm, to Toronto in the 1950's (where they both played professional hockey), Lou is left to revisit his life, his decisions and his regrets. A silent observer, haunted by his own memories.</default_description>

I can't even begin to imagine the hours that went into creating the 223 pages that make up this volume.
