Description
Book Synopsis
In the aftermath of personal tragedy, Hugh and Sara retreat to an old family home in the woods of the Veluwe in the hopes of getting their lives back on track. But can you run fast enough to escape the past? And what do those strange glyphs carved into the old beech trees really mean?Erik Kriek's latest graphic novel is a contemporary work of magical realism, that is not set in the dark forests of North America (In the Pines, Fantagraphics, 2017), nor in the cold hills of medieval Iceland (The Exile, Living the Line, 2023), but in the rural countryside of the Netherlands. Hailing from the Netherlands, Kriek is an internationally-decorated illustrator known for his work on In the Pines (2015) and Gutsman. Lushly told with gorgeous traditionally-drawn brush work, and a limited palette illustration style reminiscent of the great limited-color illustrators of the 1940s and 50s.Review Quotes
"Kriek's latest is an immersive fever dream that readers are likely to find lingering in their minds for quite some time." - Library Journal (STARRED)
"...a classic character horror story... a folklore tale focused on grief... some of my favorite artwork there is at the moment... Whereas The Exile dealt with a Brechtian dream landscape, fighting and the arc of life and revenge, the Pit is the woodlands... a smaller-scale story. I was absolutely captivated by it." - Awesome Comics Podcast
"...some real surprises, and what a crescendo of an ending." - 11 O'Clock Comics Podcast
