About the book
Part noir, part horror, part comedy, this labyrinthine tale of intrigue follows an unemployed writer named Broom who becomes unwittingly ensnared in a complex plot involving mysterious outsider artist Emile Jarnac, the shadowy machinations of the Ghoul Appreciation Society Headquarters (GASH) and the enigmatic Mr. Ixnay. This homage to the moody Hollywood monster movies crossed with the spooky cartooning traditions of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey has a crossover appeal: cartoon fans, B-movies aficionados, goths and the undead!
