AmphigoreyReeks
Deze serie biedt een unieke mix van donkere humor en absurde realisme. Met zorgvuldig uitgewerkte zwart-wit illustraties naast verhalende gedichten en proza, verkennen deze werken onfortuinlijke gebeurtenissen en macabere thema's. Ondanks de vaak grimmige aard van de inhoud, is er een eigenaardige lichtheid die de verhalen vreemd vertederend maakt. Elk deel nodigt lezers uit in een wereld waar tragedie verrassend amusant is, en biedt een onderscheidend excentrieke leeservaring.
