{"product_id":"aug241729-nightmare-factory-hc-1","title":"John Kenn Mortensens Nightmare Factory Hardcover (Mature)","description":"For horror fans of all ages, a spinetinglingly creepy and darkly comedic picture book. Fantagraphics' third release in English from Danish cult illustrator John Kenn Mortensen.  Gruesome, spindly figures gather outside a house, then spirit away a dreaming youth, bed and all. The stage is set for 32 skin-crawling poems imagining various children's nightmares, all with sequential illustrations by Danish horror master Mortensen. His eerie visions fade to black at the edges, like a dreamer unable to shift their focus, and inspire delicious terror all by themselves. Similarly, the short poems each evoke a distinct sense of dread for the sleeping imagination to expand upon; together, the words and pictures conjure a nightmarish world tinged with pitch black humor. The sequences splay across double-page spreads, evoking Edward Gorey gone grand scale, and grand guignol.  For those of a nervous disposition, read in bright sunlight. For those in search of a nervous disposition, take two before bed.","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691661525152,"sku":"AUG241729","price":41.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/5822\/9832\/files\/202407-0000464044.jpg?v=1727804624","url":"https:\/\/variant-edition.myshopify.com\/products\/aug241729-nightmare-factory-hc-1","provider":"Variant Edition Graphic Novels and Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
