A graphic novel for the twenty-first-century featuring tales of tortured souls and tormented passion—brilliantly etched in words and striking visuals

Some people fall in love, get married, and thrive in happy relationships—and then there are others. From Israeli enfant terrible Koren Shadmi comes a wickedly literate, darkly poetic, beautifully illustrated story collection that exposes with nightmarish clarity the sorrows of love and desire. Read in these pages such tales as:

Satisfaction Av.: The terrifying depths to which an unloved child once sank return to haunt her.

…and another six tales of alienation and angst.

With brutal strokes and lacerating wit, Shadmi introduces a haunting gallery of lost souls that will both repel and captivate....
