This book was gorgeous. For what is essentially an art book with a short story, I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the story. The art is fantastic, and the atmosphere it paints—literally—gave me chills.
I highly recommend finding the artist’s music and listening to the album made for the book—it complements the experience perfectly.
