NEIL GAIMANS FORBIDDEN BRIDES SLAVES DREAD DESIRE HC

(W) Neil Gaiman (A) Shane Oakley (CA) Shane Oakley

A celebrated send-up of gothic literature, beautifully adapted into a dark, brooding, and oddly comical graphic novel.

But he keeps getting interrupted by the everyday annoyances of talking ravens, duels to the death, and his sinister butler. •  Shane Oakley beautifully illustrates New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's satirical tale. "It's about what fantasy is, and why we write it, and what it would mean to write fantasy if you lived in a Gothic universe."-Neil Gaiman
