Hot on the heels of the tremendously well-received graphic novel The Lagoon comes Lilli Carre's latest work, Heads or Tails. She has produced a stunningly designed and packaged collection of some of the most poetic and confident short fiction stories being produced in comics today. Carre's elegant stories read like the gothic, family narratives of Flannery O'Connor or Carson McCullers, but they are told visually. Poetic rhythms - a coin flip, a circling ferris wheel - are punctuated by elements of melancholy fantasy pushed forward by character-driven dialogue.
