Acting Class

Nick Drnaso, Granta, £20

A follow-up to Sabrina – the first graphic novel to be nominated for the Booker Prize – Acting Class is the story of misfits who join an acting night class in search of the missing something in their lives.

But it’s led by a dark and manipulative teacher, who seems to have ulterior motives. With a plethora of characters, lightningspeed action, and no chapter breaks, you’ll feel as trapped as the drama students as reality and the horrifying fantasy world their teacher creates collide.
