Antimony Carver is a precocious and preternaturally self-possessed young girl starting her first year of school at gloomy Gunnerkrigg Court, a very British boarding school that has robeots running around alongside body-snatching demons, forest gods, and the odd mythical creature. The opening volume in the series follows Antimony through her orientation year: the people she meets, the strange things that happen, and the things she causes to happen as she and her new friend, Kat, unravel the mysteries of the Court and deal with the everyday adventures of growing up. Thomas Siddell's popular and award-winning webcomic (www.gunnerkrigg.com) is here, collected in print for old fans and new readers alike.
Thomas Siddell Boeken
Er is heel weinig over de auteur bekend, aangezien hij niet veel over zichzelf spreekt. Zijn werk duikt met scherp inzicht in de complexiteit van het moderne leven en de menselijke natuur. Met een unieke vertelstijl en meeslepende proza nodigt hij de lezer uit in werelden die zowel vertrouwd als vreemd zijn. Zijn verhalen verkennen vaak thema's als verbinding, vervreemding en de zoektocht naar betekenis in een chaotische wereld.
