THE ENVIOUS SIBLINGS

These charmingly perverse creations take ordinary settings - a living room, a subway car, a playground - and spin them in a delightfully nightmarish direction.

Eight gleefully macabre vignettes by an award-winning comics artist, as delightful as they are deadly: Landis Blair interweaves absurdist horror and humor into brief, rhyming vignettes at once transgressive and hilarious. In Blair's surreal universe, two sisters, grinning madly, tear each other apart; a child watches as monsters gobble up her fellow train passengers; and a band of kids merrily plays a gut-churning game with playground toys. ENVIOUS SIBLINGS will captivate readers who have thrilled to the lurid fantasies of Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, and Tim Burton. Landis Blair illustrated the prize-winning graphic novel The Hunting Accident and the New York Times bestseller From Here to Eternity, and has published illustrations in the New York Times, Chicago magazine, and Medium. He lives in Chicago, Illinois.
