| Description | From first impressions, this could be any mass-produced goth notebook. One of those may certainly have been where the cover came from, but the paper is soft and gently textured, unlike any paper you're familiar with. That, at least, certainly isn't mass-market. The book is filled from cover to cover with sketches and detailed drawings, most of a rather macabre nature. They seem to follow a faceless hero wearing an overcoat through encounters with the bizarre. Whatever could be said about the subject matter, the quality of the drawings is amazing. Even the ones showing the most outlandish situations have a realistic touch that makes them seem like memories spilled onto paper. |
