Guiby #2

A small, hooded figure stands knee-deep in dark waters, facing an enormous winged creature looming from the shadows in this striking volume from Éditions Michel Quintin. The deep crimson atmosphere of Guiby: L'Âme Noire sets an immediately foreboding tone, with Santar's cover artwork beautifully contrasting the tiny, vulnerable protagonist against a truly imposing, shadowy beast. This 2017 French-language adventure promises atmosphere and tension in equal measure for readers who enjoy their all-ages fantasy with a genuinely dark edge.
