TO THE SUCCESSORS IN NIGHTLIFEby Sarah Khan,illustrated by Isabel Kreitz
Each title:12.5 x 19.5 cm64 pages16+May 2018
THE STRANGER!by Elfriede Jelinek, illustrated by Nicolas Mahler
Sarah Khan writes horror stories set in contemporary Berlin. In this one, a party clique in the trendy 'Grill Royal' are wondering whether the night life in the 1980s was better than the current times. Without further ado, they bring the 'Beautiful Klaus' back to life, who draws the comparison.
Poe's 'Berenice' is a story of unfullfilled love and the question of where things can lead when the unloved part of a person loses control over itself. In the end, the protagonist possesses a small box containing the pearly white teeth of his beloved, with no memory of what has lead him to this point.
Not everyone thinks of vampires when it comes to Elfriede Jelinek. But the mysterious stranger in this story is, in fact, one. Nicolas Mahler is completely in his element here, delightfully illustrating the grumpy coffee-house zombie while referencing classic horror films with a light touch.
An elaborate historical novel in images, whose precisely researched cityscapes and milieu studies unfold into an impressive panorama of the times. A fascinating journey into the Weimar Republic against a background of the seizure of power. Now finally, the closing volume of the trilogy whose story begins in September 1928 and ends in January 1933.
