Anxiété chérie #[nn]

Alberto Montt's *Anxiété chérie* announces itself with a cover that is both darkly funny and deeply relatable: a lone figure lies in bed while a swarm of spiky, red, wide-eyed creatures — all teeth and bulging stares — streams directly toward their head from the darkness. Published in 2021 by çà et là, this French-language collection channels the very texture of a restless, worry-filled mind into Montt's sharp, expressive cartooning. If you've ever stared at the ceiling while your thoughts multiplied into something monstrous, this one might feel uncomfortably familiar.
