This little but intense book is full of searing self-examination, recriminations, battles for selfhood, irony, and power. Howell draws little waifish children, straight out of a Victorian children’s book, and plunges them into humanity’s ages old quest to overcome the darkness within.

This is dark, funny, and unflinching. 

“Honest, unsettling, made with a tremendous amount of skill (all the while remaining stunningly unique), this is a comic to contend with… …Themes of art, family, failure and fear all creep around the edges in a work that breathes thought and honed execution.” — Austin English
