Une échappée existentielle drôle et émouvante par une étoile montante de la bande dessinée canadienne.
Olivia, Milo et Alvin terminent le lycée et refusent les promesses absurdes d'une vie d'adulte standard. En quête d'autre chose, ils s'enfuient à travers les paysages de la côte ouest canadienne. De rencontres inattendues en engueulades, rien ne se passe comme prévu, mais l'urgence de vivre et de trouver leur place les mènera bien quelque part.
Jen Campbell's collection of terrifyingly gruesome tales lends a modern edge to fairy tale collections for young readers. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of fairy tale history, Campbell's stories undo the censoring, gender stereotyping and twee endings of more modern children's fairy tales, to return both classic and little-known stories to their grim versions, whilst celebrating a diverse range of characters.
Featuring 14 short stories from around the globe, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is illustrated in a contemporary style by Canadian comic artist Adam de Souza. De Souza's brooding illustrations are a highly original blend of 19th-century Gothic engravings and moody film noir graphic novels. Beautifully produced in a hardback format with a rose gold ribbon marker, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is a truly thrilling gift.
