Beautiful Darkness Description
Review
“A twisted tale that draws from the likes of Alice in Wonderland and The Borrowers, only Beautiful Darkness presents a much bleaker allegory about brutality. As the tiny people lose hope, their underlying pettiness, greed and jealousy become evident despite their polite words and pretty faces.”—Los Angeles Times Hero Complex
"This unforgettable graphic novel hovers on the edge of your daydreams and nightmares.”—Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"You've seen countless stories about cute little creatures living secretly in our world, but you've never read one like Beautiful Darkness. It's a world that's as adorable as it is cruel, where life is beautiful but also cheap, and where death is omnipresent.”—io9
“Set against the saccharine sweet storybook aesthetic of Kerascoët’s rapturous watercolors, Vehlmann’s narrative is a sinister saga that you won’t be able to put down.”—Nerdist
"The watercolor artwork here is painfully beautiful, and the book is...best read on three separate sittings — one day for each season — to take in rise and wane and grudges of the miniature empires.”—Buzzfeed
"It’s The Borrowers meets Lord of the Flies.”—Comic Book Resources
