Tales From When I Had A Face
A modern fairy-tale about death, loss, and finding redemption in the strangest places.
Our Kickstarter was phenomenally successful, funded in 24 hours, over 250% by the end. We produced 120 limited edition hardcover copies.
The remaining copies of the limited edition hardcover will only be available at future Conventions and events (TBA). They are otherwise only available direct from the author. ($60+shipping)
Stay tuned for information about a full international release. We are currently investigating softcover full-color and hardcover black and white options.
A Story About the Ends of Worlds, and the Beginning of Meaning
A haunting, color-illustrated novel over seven years in the making, Tales From When I Had A Face takes visual inspiration from the collections of fairy tales familiar to many readers: full page images juxtapose the text, complemented by smaller inline art. Brief sequential passages reminiscent of a graphic novel add impact and immersion. In total it contains over 100 illustrations.
Tales is intended to speak to anyone who has felt trapped between the multiple, often conflicting worlds, of past, present, and future.
