Vinder af Pingprisen 2017 ♥♥♥♥♥ Søren Vinterberg, Politiken ★★★★★★ - Fyens Stiftstidende ★★★★★★ - nummer9.dk ★★★★★ - Serieland.dk ★★★★★ - Bogrummet.dk Der ligger en lille pige i skovbunden. Solen står op, solen går ned. Græsset svajer i vinden og bladene drysser gule og orange fra træerne. Men hun bliver liggende, den lille pige er død. Ud af hendes øjne, øre, næse og mund vælter det frem med små prinser, dukkebørn og andre søde væsner, der hører et barnligt fantasiunivers til. Men dukkebørnene er ikke så rare, som de ser ud til, tværtimod er de egenrådige og grusomme og dét i en sådan grad, at de får folkeskole-klassikeren Fluernes Herre af William Golding til at fremstå tam. I skovbundens fantastisk smukke mikrokosmos udspiller sig herefter en kamp på liv og død, mens det glemte barnelig langsomt rådner bort. Hvem af de små nuttede væsner er last doll standing, når de andre er lede og skovens natur ubarmhjertig? Mørkets skønhed skaber med sine sarte pastelfarvetoner og fnuglette poetiske og feminine streg, et indbydende og lækkert udtryk. Dette står i grel kontrast til de horrible ting, der foregår de små nuttede dukker imellem."Marie Pommepuy and Fabien Vehlmann’s story, though, immediately shifts its focus to the crawling terror on the underside of fairy tales’ gentility...Pommepuy and Sébastien Cosset, who draw collaboratively under the name Kerascoët, render Aurora and her friends in the huge-eyed style of classic children’s book illustrations, but cuteness is just another Darwinian survival strategy here." - New York Times Book Review "This unforgettable graphic novel hovers on the edge of your daydreams and nightmares."- Publishers Weekly, starred review"You‘ve seen countless stories about cute little creatures living secretly in our world, but you‘ve never read one like Beautiful Darkness. It‘s a world that‘s as adorable as it is cruel, where life is beautiful but also cheap, and where death is omnipresent... in more ways than one."- i09.com
