Incidents in the Night Book 2

One of the Best Graphic Novels of the Year. The story being told is cerebral and visceral in equal measure, and it succeeds impressively in both qualities. --Paste Magazine Unlikely -- in the strangest, most compelling sense -- is what David B. is after in this project, which merges a detective story with the kind of philosophical arcana that marks, say, the Illuminatus! Trilogy. The result is a narrative that takes place in the interstices of reality, in which a man could hide from the Angel of Death for 150 years by folding himself into the letters on a printed page. --David Ulin, Los Angeles Times Incidents in the Night immediately calls to mind postmodern works: Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, Borges's short story The Library of Babel, and Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. Simultaneously, you are drawn into the nooks and crevices of a private detective story. --World Literature Today The daring, nimble narrative has more bizarre, thought-provoking ideas than an entire shelf of historical conspiracy novels, and the deep shadows and dark streets of Paris are captured in sinister, inky blacks. This is a metaphysical Tintin-esque adventure with a vivid, confident story and artwork to match, as well as a cunning cliffhanger ending to set up volume three. --Publishers Weekly Whether it's read as a strange meditation on storytelling and obsession or a detective story unlike any other, this volume of Incidents in the Night has plenty of strange and compelling narratives to offer. As befits a story in which rare books and obscure histories play a key role, there's a slightly insular quality here. The story being told is cerebral and visceral in equal measure, and it succeeds impressively in both qualities. --Paste Magazine Poetically told, rich in religious and societal allegory as well as knowledge of occult histories, Incidents In The Night 2 is full of strange delights, both large and small. --The Quietus
