Beautiful art and an easy to follow along with cautionary tale. I say this because I feel that some writers feel the need to tell a big convoluted story to tell a story that could be expressed much more succinctly and simply. The ability to do that is much more indicative of a talented writer than anything else.

Beautiful artwork. The story feels like a scream into the void though. I felt hollow and disappointed at the end.

Desmond is an urban planner who needs to impress his stepdad with a big commercial project. But his presentation is crashed by a literal manic fae dream girl who insists that the Fae are all turning into monsters because of the human relationship with the earth and the Fae queen is coming and she's pissed, and the land Demond is building on really needs to be a park instead.

Demond starts to believe her but is he going crazy or is the Queen of the Fae really coming to destroy the parasitic humans?

This short graphic novel is a kind of urban fantasy cautionary tale about the way we live on and interact with nature. It's fairly overt with its messaging but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. I thought the take on the Fae and their relationship to humans was quite interesting, and enjoyed the introspective, fairytale style narration in points. The idea that the fantasy creatures were kind of physical manifestations of the human relationship with the environment, and that they were turning from something whimsical to something wicked, was a unique and interesting concept.

The art is amazing and the amount of detail put into every image is mind-blowing.

Overall it may not be an overly complex, nuanced or groundbreaking story but I thought it was a fairly unique take and I enjoyed reading it.
