Le Château des Ruisseaux #[nn]

From Dupuis' Aire Libre imprint comes this quietly atmospheric work by Poincelet and Bernière. The cover sets a contemplative tone immediately: a stately manor's entrance, rendered in muted greens, draws the eye toward an open doorway that hints at something waiting just inside — its twin stairways and shuttered windows giving the building a watchful, expectant presence. It's the kind of image that rewards a slow look, perfectly suited to the thoughtful storytelling Aire Libre is known for in 2012.
