But he will discover what it means to be truly haunted when a ghostly woman appears to lure him to land’s end, to the beckoning waves that have broken his heart. In a tale weird and whimsical, as familiar as folklore and as strange as life itself, musical artists Chan Poling and Lucy Michell create a world where even the most hardened soul has to see that grief may be tough, but life is tougher. As Jack’s childhood friend, the loyal and endlessly optimistic Red, tries to counter the ghost’s allure, the story exerts its own charm, guiding us through a landscape of prose and pictures at once irreverent and dead serious. Though the book’s surreal seduction might call to mind the likes of Wes Anderson, Edward Gorey, or the Decemberists, it is, finally, Poling and Michell’s singular accomplishment, an enchanting imaginative leap into life’s haunted depths.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 25mmAuthor: Chan PolingIllustrator: Lucy MichellContributor: Lucy Michell (Illustrated by)Genre: FictionTopic: Horror, Graphic Novels, FantasyRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
