Ocultos
This entrancing collection of graphic short stories explores the occult forces that touch upon our everyday lives.
New York Public Library Best Comics for Adults 2024
Within our visible world, there are hidden worlds full of unknown forces whose nature we cannot fathom. Ocultos swirls together a series of stories that form a bridge between our world to the next, where thoughts and dreams can bend and shape reality. A woman in therapy is haunted by disturbing visions; a lonely widower feels a presence wafting through her house; a little boy sees bright red lights flash across the night sky. Vivid dreams, poignant symbols, fleeting sensationsβall clues that point to an understanding of what lies beyond.
Celebrated for her previous graphic novel, Totem, Spanish comics artist Laura PΓ©rez presents another entrancing vision of magic and mystery. Artfully rendered in her signature wispy, atmospheric pencil lines punctuated by splashes of colour, Ocultos is a spiritual, reflective work that will leave you spellbound.
