Dierenriem #6

A dark-haired young woman kneels on the grass before a stone wall, dressed in a striking black-and-white striped top, fishnet stockings, and buckled boots — while behind her, a large and unsettling shadow of a monstrous figure looms across the ancient stonework. The contrast between her composed expression and the threatening silhouette gives this 2013 Daedalus release an atmosphere of quiet dread, with cover art by Thomas Ehretsmann rendered in a beautifully photorealistic style. Corbeyran and Nicolas Lannoy's Dierenriem continues here with "De marteling van de Maagd," a title that promises something deeply sinister lurking just out of sight.
