The Girl The Goon The Goblin

written by Dem Lashawn Keilu & illustrated by Madison Bregitzer, is a myth-infused coming-of-age story that follows a young girl navigating a world where folklore bleeds into everyday life. As she encounters figures that exist somewhere between spirit, monster, and memory—the goon, the goblin—she’s forced to confront transformation, identity, and the unseen forces shaping her reality. Blending elements of surrealism, Black cultural mythology, and urban storytelling, the narrative explores what it means to grow up in a world that doesn’t fully explain itself.
