This collection of bizarre short stories by French comic artist Nicole Claveloux is the first time these works have appeared together translated to English. The French versions were originally published in the late 1970s. They are really odd and dreamlike (or perhaps nightmare like) with lots of unexpected twists and turns.

i do not like the style of the drawings and the stories seemed a bit too out there for me to completely get into. I enjoyed some of the morbid aspects but I could not completely get into it

A dream of a book. I particularly loved "The Ninny and Her Prince Charming."

Not really my cup of tea, but I can understand why people enjoy her art.

These short stories were originally published in the 1970s but only recently became available translated in English. The art is gorgeous and the stories are surreal and dream-like. Don't look for easy narratives here. This book is both in color and black-and-white. I found it really weird and cool.
