De profeet #4

The fourth and final volume of Mathieu Lauffray's De Profeet series arrives with a haunting cover image that lingers in the mind: a pale, ethereal woman with wild, feathered hair rises serenely above a massive, blood-red horned demon skull — the contrast between her cool stillness and the raw brutality beneath her is genuinely striking. Subtitled De Profundis, this 2015 Dutch-language release from Uitgeverij L promises a descent into something dark and mythic, fully in keeping with the atmospheric tension Lauffray is known for from his work on Long John Silver. Fans of beautifully painted, darkly spiritual fantasy will want this one on their shelf.
