Description
In this surreal second installment of a planned trilogy, Doug—also known as Nitnit—works within the strange, insectile world of Interzone, where his duties as a caretaker and secret librarian bring him into contact with uncanny doubles of people from his past. As he navigates the fractured terrain of memory, dreams, and desire, Doug is drawn back into the troubled history of his relationship with Sarah and the unresolved aftermath of his father’s death. Blending psychological mystery with disturbing fantasy, the book explores trauma, grief, alienation, and the unstable boundary between reality and imagination. With his precise, unsettling artwork and starkly atmospheric storytelling, the author creates a haunting meditation on the stories we use to investigate—and survive—our own pasts.
