“Crime drama meets magical realism in a lushly rendered turn-of-the-century Philippines in illustrator and video game designer Riotbones’s ravishing debut[…] Riotbones’s art drips with gothic glamor, sprawling into collage-style page layouts with layers of colors and patterns, all shimmering with a finish that suggests lacquer or antique paper. It’s a decadent treat for fans of dark fantasy.”
