Beautiful Darkness

رسم القصه رهيببببببببببب و القصه حلوه و دموية

Beautiful Darkness begins with a bunch of adorable fairy-like creatures crawling out of the corpse of a young girl, which is lying on a forest floor. We don’t know what happened to the girl – murder? Freak accident? Heart attack? – but it doesn’t matter, because the girl’s corpse is just part the setting; the story belongs to the fairies, who are woefully unprepared for surviving in the material world. Most of the little fairies don’t seem to have much personality or emotional depth, to the point that they seem indifferent to each other’s deaths (and those deaths happen frequently). In most books that would be a flaw, but in Beautiful Darkness it seems intentional. My interpretation – and this is only my interpretation, the book would easily support other readings – the fairies are the characters from the stories the dead girl made up to tell herself, somehow able to escape into the real world upon the girl’s death. A few of the characters were major protagonists or villains, and those characters have more personality; in particular, the main character, Aurora, goes through amazing development and changes as the story goes on. Most of the other fairies were just simple background characters, and act like it. beautiful_pg28(About that name, “Aurora”: Early in the book, we see that the dead girl had a notebook with “Aurora” handwritten on the cover; I interpret this as meaning that this was the book the girl wrote stories about Aurora in, but I’ve seen other people suggest that the girl’s name was Aurora, and that the fairy Aurora is named that because represents the girls idealized self-image. Another possibility is that Aurora the fairy just named herself after the notebook.) This book is brutal, ambiguous, incredibly original, and stuck with me a long time after reading it. The artwork is excellent; Kerascoet (a pen name for a married pair of cartoonists, Marie Pommepuy and Sebastien Cosset) switches between a loose, airy cartoon style for the fairy-like creatures and impressive fully-painted realism for the big humans. (I’d find that sort of fully-painted realism heavy-handed and oppressive for a full comic, but here – used in brief passages interspersed throughout the book – it’s very effective at making the humans seem alien and often a bit threatening, and also quite beautiful to look at).

But mostly disturbing. A gruesome tale about human behavior and transformation.

The need to Reiterate the recommended audience is because I have seen a Mirriad of complaints alike " This isn't kid appropriate how did it end in my kids hands" "I dunno I'm not their parent" It's not a issue of getting carried away by the cute fairy like art ,In their defense there is no a single indication of ' Recomended for teens/ Mature audience ' in the cover. Albeit to know this is not a children's book you only need to see 8 pages Into. The main allure of Beautiful Darkness is the cute and simple character drawings Infront of detailed Forest Backgrounds. The Forest goes through all the Seasons and we later Switch to a Cottage during Winter. The Story is the happenings of a Community of little people( Who's) Let's see if they let the photo of the pages Stay

J'ai rarement lu une BD de cette qualité, c'est quelque chose d'incroyable. On nage dans le malsain et le candide sans jamais voir la transition, le dessin a l'aquarelle de l'auteur est parfait pour cela. Je recommande
