Rhymes like “The jungle gym at best condones the shattering of all your bones.” are fun to read - and true! “The Envious Siblings” section is also a good rhyme, and pretty gross! Actually, the whole book is dark, macabre, and yes, gross. So, it's a good read for someone like me, but probably not for kids. And the artwork is pretty dang good, but also pretty graphic. Don't be fooled by the "nursery rhymes" part of the title! Focus on the "morbid"!!! "A floor of meat cannot be beat, we love a corpse beneath our feet." ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Inspired by the dark imagination of Edward Gorey, Envious Siblings is a twisted and hauntingly funny debut. Comics artist Landis Blair interweaves absurdist horror and humor into brief, rhyming vignettes at once transgressive and hilarious. In Blair's surreal universe, a lost child watches as bewhiskered monsters gobble up her fellow train passengers; a band of kids merrily plays a gut- churning game with playground toys; and two sisters, grinning madly, tear each other apart. These charmingly perverse creations take ordinary settings-- a living room, a subway car, a playground-- and spin them in a nightmarish direction. No library descriptions found. |
