The Chuckling Whatsit

Af: Richard Sala Engelsk Hardback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
Sala weaves the gothic cartooning traditions of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams with an ingeniously constructed, melodramatic murder mystery involving astrology, ghouls, academia, and outsider art. Part noir, part horror, and part comedy, this labyrinthian tale of intrigue follows an unemployed writer named Broom who becomes ensnared unwittingly in a complex plot involving mysterious outsider artist Emile Jarnac, the shadowy machinations of the Ghoul Appreciation Society Headquarters (GASH), and the enigmatic Mr. Ixnay. Sala''s deadpan delivery makes this ingeniously layered narrative a roller-coaster ride of darkly pure comic suspense. Sala''s drawing style also reveals the influence of everything from Hollywood monster movies and Dick Tracy to German expressionism and Grimm''s fairy tales. It''s a style that''s perfectly suited to the narrative, constantly flirting with Sala''s fascination for the grotesque and lending palpable tension to the gruesome riddle of The Chuckling Whatsit.
