Bayou Arcana: Songs of Loss and Redemption is a graphic novel anthology of 11 stories created by a team of male writers and female artists,[1] first published in 2012. It draws heavily on the United States' 'Southern Gothic' tradition of mysticism in both the storytelling themes and visual art.[2] Much of the stories' content is also related to cultural issues of oppression and retribution in the context of the history of the Southern United States.
