Lovely dark dreamlike short stories which drag the reader through a deep, all encompassing bleakness. Gorgeously produced and heartfelt with spectacularly noir artwork. This is definitely not for everyone but it is smart, passionate and powerful.
weird for weird's sake
The latest collection of self-published comix stories from Zak Sally-- and by far his strongest work in this vein (his Sammy the Mouse stories are a different breed altogether-- dark but hilarious). These comics are, as others have said, unsettling, but very deep with strains of (black) humor. Accomplished work.
★★★★½
So bizarre.
There is nothing you can do to end the suffering you see around you. All you can do is witness it and to read poetry.
weird, sometimes gross, but still enjoyable. i've always dug zak kally's work in mome; it was nice to see some longer pieces.
Unrelentingly black.The art is pretty amazing, jaw droppingly and terrifyingly precise at times. But the unrelentingness of the blackness, the secretiveness, the oppresive self-loathing for misogyny, misanthropy, mis-everything. Oof. Too much. Write some happy stuff dude. Impossible, of course, it was single-mindedly committed to its vision, but I can't say it was pleasant or that i "enjoyed" it per se.
The first three stories really grabbed me. Wasn't that into the last. Like strange dreams. They make just enough sense.
Great artwork, weird disjointed nightmare stories.
Unsettling. The first two stories pulled me in, but everything seemed to unspool from there. I can't rate it higher because I didn't really like it, but if you want something that makes you feel uneasy without a big reading commitment, you've found it.
