Lo que más me gusta son los monstruos by Emil Ferris

lizawall's review against another edition

read for book club! this is maybe the best representation of childhood and the space where subconscious meets consciousness that i've ever seen. i was a little bit bogged down in the kind of art history painting reproductions, but those were also beautiful.

Emil Ferris ejecuta un manual de maestría gráfica donde cada página es un regalo, y lo ha sabido acompañar de una historia inolvidable llena de ternura, emoción y sentido. La obra funciona como una suerte de grimorio donde el pulp, la poesía, la historia, los cuerpos, los cuidados, la violencia y, en definitiva, la vida, se expone como un verdadero conjuro testimonial. Una verdadera joya.
Nada de lo que leáis sobre esta obra es comparable a tenerla en las manos. Buscadla. Os la llevaréis a casa. La leeréis muchas veces.

Incredible art, very loveable main character, compelling story, but be prepared - in the middle the story takes an incredibly dark turn and if you start to wonder if this character can't possibly suffer anymore soul crushing misery, then you would be wrong.
