Maria Llovet’s EROS/PSYCHE Hardcover MSRP: $24.99 Book Release Date: September 29th
The Rose female boarding school is paradise for young girls…but only if you follow the rules. Because, if you disobey them, you can end up expelled, or even worse, dead. Sara and Silje are two students learning the rules of the school, which includes classes by day…and the casting of curses and spells by night. A love develops between the two, which is tender, but threatens to break under the weight of the dark secret society within The Rose. Acclaimed creator Maria Llovet brings readers a surreal, bewitching tale of love, magic, and tragedy in EROS/PSYCHE. The hardcover collection contains the complete series plus cover gallery and an extras section that fans of Llovet’s work are sure to enjoy.
Creator Maria Llovet was born Barcelona, Spain and has drawn wide acclaim for her work. Her style has its stylistic roots in Japanese manga but she also drinks copiously from influences ranging from European art to the fashion industry. Her work is also characterized by a cinematographic influence that helps to drive her visual narratives. Sex and death are the big two central themes in her work.
“Maria Llovet has made a serious name for herself in the comics world and we’re very excited to bring this pair of her works to readers now,” says Rich Young, co-founder of ABLAZE. “Her rich art style and masterful ability to create a creepy ambiance and stories driven by compelling characters shines in PORCELAIN and EROS/PSYCHE. We look forward to readers being able to experience these thrilling and captivating tales for themselves.”
