The Ticking

The story of Edison Steelhead, a boy who at birth takes his mother's life and his father's deformed face. Secreted away by his father to be raised in a remote island lighthouse, Edison relates to his surroundings in the only way he knows how -- by capturing them in his sketchbook. Able to find beauty in even the most grotesque of things, Edison embraces his own unsettling appearance and sets out to confront the rest of the world. Waiting for him on its alien shores are the sights and experiences that will give shape to both his future and his past. A gorgeous, compelling hardcover graphic novel by Renee French and designed by Jordan Crane. "Finds its way into the most guarded corners of our psyches and allows us to revel in all that is awkward, embarrassing, or sticky about being alive." -Myla Goldberg, author of Bee Season. (more...)

Dream: The Dark Erotic Visions of John Santerineross

John Santerineross proves his genius of dark erotic art with this book of disturbing yet titillating images, an exploration of John's dream imagery and iconography through the use of photographic medium.
