A Sickness in the Family, by Denise Mina

A Sickness in the Family, by Denise Mina, 192 pages

This is a pretty creepy graphic novel, and definitely not for kids.  The Usher family is not very close, but things start unraveling quickly after the couple who lives downstairs die violently.  No one cares about Grandma Martha, even after she falls (or is she pushed?) through a giant hole in the floor; Biddy is cheating on Ted, Amy cares only for herself, and William clearly has a drug problem.  And then everyone starts getting murdered.  This book will leave you guessing, even after the very last panel, as to who is really killing whom.  Creeeeeeepy- and for adults.
