Beautiful Darkness

رسم القصه رهيببببببببببب و القصه حلوه و دموية

But mostly disturbing. A gruesome tale about human behavior and transformation.

(Spoilerless review) This graphic novel starts out with little explanation as to who the characters are, how they got there, or what they're doing. But the story telling is so involving that you'll ultimately not care, with both writing and art that is fast paced and engrossing enough that by the time you realize the beginning was not a dream sequence you're already off and running into the next surprise. When you reach the ending you'll realize nothing was explained along the way, but will be strangely OK with it. The story centers around what appear to be a bunch of small fairy-tale type folk who live in the woods. Or are they dolls come to life? And where did they come from, and how long have they been there? They almost feel as if they have just recently arrived, and at times you wonder if the small female lead is some manifestation of the real world body of a dead girl that is near their homes. As the only ethical person in the lot, she takes up the mantle of provider, trying to help others in this "lost boys" tribe of immature and bratty wee-folk, just as the decomposing dead body helps the nearby animals of the forest floor. Fans of Vertigo's "Fables" will like this, particularly those who think that long running series is now growing a little stale and could use a shot of creativity like what is on display here. The painted color artwork is often cartoony but still proficient, and works well with the little houses and their interiors for animals (think David Peterson's "Mouseguard" series, "Stuart Little" , "A Cricket in Times Square", "The Rescuers", etc.). It also provides a nice foil to this fairy tale like story that starts out sweet but quickly turns the darkest shade of black. A strangely satisfying book considering it seems like it is both missing a beginning and leaves you wanting more at the end. Originally published in France, this english hard bound version comes in at 94 pages. No information on the writers or artist is included, making who put this book together and what else they have worked on almost as much of a mystery as the story they wrote. If you're looking for something fresh and new this is a great way to go.

The need to Reiterate the recommended audience is because I have seen a Mirriad of complaints alike " This isn't kid appropriate how did it end in my kids hands" "I dunno I'm not their parent" It's not a issue of getting carried away by the cute fairy like art ,In their defense there is no a single indication of ' Recomended for teens/ Mature audience ' in the cover. Albeit to know this is not a children's book you only need to see 8 pages Into. The main allure of Beautiful Darkness is the cute and simple character drawings Infront of detailed Forest Backgrounds. The Forest goes through all the Seasons and we later Switch to a Cottage during Winter. The Story is the happenings of a Community of little people( Who's) Let's see if they let the photo of the pages Stay

J'ai rarement lu une BD de cette qualité, c'est quelque chose d'incroyable. On nage dans le malsain et le candide sans jamais voir la transition, le dessin a l'aquarelle de l'auteur est parfait pour cela. Je recommande
