Now, finally, the stories compiled in this volume have not lost any of their momentum. The compelling aesthetic sensitivity of Mr. Font and his uninhibited drawing style are not for the faint of heart – the powerful imagery and the morbid humor run like golden thread throughout the book and will leave almost nobody indifferent.
