The set and costuming are deliberately simple: The background is white, and Macbeth’s “armor” is a leather jacket. This series follows the adventures of Flora and her kitty as she works around his ludicrous corporeal form and the humans in her orbit try to figure out what is up with the house. Flora moves into a house she has just inherited and she finds out that it's inhabited by a curious creature, creepy cat! It's good enough that I'm getting the next volume from the library, but I do feel a little something is getting lost in translation.

I also loved the little touches of spookiness here and there, like the ghost living in Flora's house or the random spirits scattered throughout. The graphic novel offers little scenes from Flora and creepy cat's daily life together and it was all quite funny to read. Why humans project so much depth and mystery onto cats is not fully understood, but it’s a fact that the feline species absolutely captivate us.
