Pinocchio #[nn]

Winshluss's darkly whimsical reimagining of the classic wooden-boy tale arrives in this 2009 avant-verlag edition, its cover framing a skeletal, long-nosed Pinocchio silhouetted against a moonlit night sky within an ornate arched portal. Surrounding that central vignette is an intricate mechanical border alive with interlocking gears, writhing tentacles, roses, and a pair of eight-ball-eyed birds — a visual feast that signals something far stranger and richer than a simple fairy tale retelling. At €29.95, this oversized package makes a strong first impression before you've even cracked the spine.
