For the first time, this volume brings together Ott's gruesome short stories about love, death, and hope. Thomas Ott does not draw; he scratches his images out of black-coated scratchboard with a cutter. Ott is considered an outstanding representative of a comic scene that continually discovers new facets of dark humor. His books are universally understandable, as they rely on no words, and have been published in over 10 countries.
