haunting and lyrical
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Poe and Gorey fans should take a look at this. Molly Barker's work is lighter and less ornate than Poe's prose, and less comic and more contemplative and fluid than Gorey's work. The loose and evocative line of her etchings and the tensed flow of her prose create a most atmospheric and poetic narrative. Barker's work has been released in only 2 ways: (1) in limited-edition fine art books of bound prints, for the art collector's market, and (2) through City Lights, a small press in California, for the general reader. Her work has had less attention than it deserves due to its limited distribution.
A brilliant graphic novel, part Spiegleman, part Gorey

Ms. Barker's landscapes are eerie and dark, reminiscent of Poe. They describe the alienation of the human condition with poetry and beautiful illustrations
