AmphigoreySerie
Questa serie presenta un mix unico di umorismo nero e realismo assurdo. Caratterizzate da meticolose illustrazioni in bianco e nero, insieme a narrazioni in versi e prosa, queste opere esplorano eventi sfortunati e temi macabri. Nonostante la natura spesso terribile del contenuto, vi è una peculiare leggerezza che rende le storie stranamente accattivanti. Ogni volume invita i lettori in un mondo dove la tragedia è sorprendentemente divertente, offrendo un'esperienza di lettura distintamente eccentrica.
