| Description: | Select Guide Rating The town Bobby lives in is a grey cluster of houses trapped against the sea by a half-ring of factories. Over the horizon, a war is raging. Any day now it may sweep over the town and crush it. And Bobby has fallen in love. Consumed by thoughts of her, Bobby begins to sleepwalk. Days and nights smear into each other. Terror begins to seep into him. It rides in on the draught from the windows. It oozes up through the cracks in the floorboards. He thinks he is going mad. An original dark fable inspired by the author''s experience of growing up in the middle east during the Gulf War, The Boy with Nails for Eyes explores and exposes the paranoia and tension that has crept into modern life, woven into a dream-logic fairy tale. The book, the first in a three-volume series, was longlisted for the Myriad First Graphic Novel Competition in 2018. |
