NYPL's Best New Comics for Adults "Turns with the unpredictable intensity of a dream." — FOREWORD (Starred Review) “An offbeat quest wrapped up in dark fantasy.” — BOOKLIST “ An unmissable addition to the pantheon of adult fantasy literature. ”  — BROKEN FRONTIER "Dahm is simply a storyteller par excellence." — SOLRAD An anonymous parcel delivery boy arrives at a sprawling, chaotic mansion, in search of The Resident, who must sign for the package he bears, but this isn’t nearly as simple a task as it should be. The mansion hosts an endless, frenzied party, and the partygoers impede his every step. As the quest takes him further into the dripping, black bowels of the labyrinthine house, his mission galvanizes into his single purpose for existence, and his determination to find The Resident may well prove his undoing. A phantasmagoric dark fantasy unlike anything you’ve ever explored before, from the wild imagination behind RICE BOY and THE HARROWING OF HELL. "The story turns with the unpredictable intensity of a dream. . . . With rich illustrations that feature excellent composition, color, and content, and a story that is drenched in dark humor."  — FOREWORD (Starred Review) “Will appeal to those looking for an offbeat quest wrapped up in dark fantasy.” — BOOKLIST “Confirms Dahm’s reputation as a craftsman of wholly original, deeply felt fantasy.”  — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "The Divine Comedy meets Jim Henson’s Workshop in this daring comic."  — NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY " Best New Comics for Adults" "An existential tour de force that should be on the shelf of every horror reader."  — CEMETERY DANCE "An unmissable addition to the pantheon of adult fantasy literature."  — BROKEN FRONTIER "Gorgeous to behold . . . Dahm is simply a storyteller par excellence. It’s hard to put the comic down once you start."  — SOLRAD "A beautiful book, full of striking moments, gorgeous detail, and emotions ranging from manic euphoria to despair."  — WARREN PEACE "Dahm’s artwork and storytelling is very Henson-esque all the way around."  — SMASH PAGES “One of our greatest living fantasy cartoonists conjures up a nightmarish mixture of Carroll and Peake, Poe and Calvino, a Kafkaesque vision of futility, stupidity, and cruelty bubbling in a crucible of endless, meaningless wealth. Astonishing.” —  GRETCHEN FELKER-MARTIN (Manhunt, Cuckoo) "It’s a fun, strange, disorienting world Dahm has built here, and I’m both glad to have gotten to see it and relieved that I don’t have to visit it. Brutal, relentless, tender." — SARAH GAILEY (Just Like Home) "Set in a nigh-labyrinthine house of horrors, a great bit of horror with fantastical absurdities all over the place from one of our finest working cartoonists."  — RITESH BABU "Enjoyable surreal graphic novel, set in a world reminiscent of Kafka and Poe but nevertheless its own. More mainstream comics like this would be nice."  —  ADITYA BIDIKAR Evan Dahm was born in 1987, growing up in Asheville, North Carolina.
