Emerging from the Portland scene at the height of the Obama era, her comics augured the dark times to come using graphic sex, pitch-black horror, a hunger for exploring the past, and a line cruel as a whip to create her own unmistakable sense of millennial melancholy. Reflecting her DIY ethos, much of her work has only been available in self-published zines or independent anthologies, many of them rare or out-of-print - until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorld Within the World\u003c\/em\u003e features 30 of Gfrörer's short stories, culled from a decade of writing and drawing at the bleeding edge of the art form. Her tales of desire, despair, and the universal need for connection span centuries, continents, and cultures from prehistoric teenagers in love to Christian martyrs in the making to modern-day vampires on the make.
