Charles Bukowski & R. Crumb:
The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship
RM29.00

"Any collaboration between Charles Bukowski and R. Crumb is a notable
event. Each man is a consummate example of the anti-establishment
artist who calls society to task for its foibles and failures. With
humor and scathing satire Bukowski and Crumb have exemplified this
important tradition. These unpublished last journals by Bukowski
candidly detail the events of his daily life, which R. Crumb has
brilliantly illustrated with five full color hand printed serigraphs
and six full page black-and-white illustrations."

Grant Morrison & Jon J Muth
Mystery Play (Graphic Novel)
RM28.00

"rom a thrilling, fast paced mystery story this mutates halfway
through to become something far darker & deeper, full of psychological
meaning & hallucinatory imagery. If you're hoping for an easy read,
with a simple resolution, forget it. Morrison writes a brilliantly
open ended story with layers upon layers of meaning. By the final
pages, you'll be almost breathless.

Evocative, cinematic, and dreamlike, The Mystery Play is a
multi-layered, tightly written & beautifully painted in
photo-realistic style by Jon J. Muth."

Italo Calvino
If on a Winter's Night a Traveller (Paperback)
RM19.00

"For those with an amorous affair with books, this may, perhaps, be
the ultimate love letter to the reader. Calvino's novel, or more
precisely, his book of ten interrelated stories, is both masterfully
created and startlingly unique. Told alternately in second and third
persons, the book is a fascinating exploration of the relationship
between the author and the reader. Flawlessly composed, the novel
weaves together seemingly unrelated tales, all of which relate
directly to you, the reader. At its core is an ingenious concept the
likes of which could have only come from the unparalleled imagination
of Calvino. By the time you reach its dazzling conclusion, you'll be
wishing you could somehow read it again for the very first time."

Douglas Coupland
Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture
RM28.00

The novel, consisting of mostly brief anecdotes, portrays the
economically bleak and emotionally taut lives of three friends who try
to escape the overly commercialized world by living simply in
California's Mojave Desert. The often biting, ironic tone of the novel
and its pop culture allusions helped bring about a new era of
transgressional fiction, including the work of authors Irvine Welsh
and Chuck Palahniuk.

Serena Valentino
Gloom Cookie #1 & #2 (Comics)
RM 15.00 (for both)

"GLOOMCOOKIE is the cartoon series that Beetlejuice watches late at
night when he can't sleep. Like Wednesday Addams' wet dream, or that
one drink too many that puts you over the edge. Funny and real in a
surreal world. Mostly because I know the creators, I know that it
smacks of experience and heartfelt feelings..."

Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Dave McKean
Violent Cases (Graphic Novel)
RM30.00

Violent Cases is a short graphic novel written by Neil Gaiman and
illustrated by Dave McKean. For both creators it was their first
published work in comics. First published in black and white by Titan
Books in 1987, it was originally drawn in shades of blue, brown and
grey, and later editions have been printed in colour.

A narrator, who is drawn to look like Gaiman, tells of how, as a small
child in Portsmouth, he was taken by his father to be treated by an
osteopath who was once employed by Al Capone. The nature of the
narrator's relationship with his father, the tales the osteopath told,
and the disturbing events that followed, are partially obscured by the
narrator's imperfect recall of things he was not old enough to
understand at the time.

Neil Gaiman & Michael Zulli
Creatures of the Night (hardcover)
RM25.00

Newly rewritten by Gaiman for this graphic novel, these two ominous
stories from the author's award-winning prose, Smoke and Mirrors:
Short Fictions and Illusions, feature animals and people not being
quite what they seem. In "The Price," a black cat like a small panther
arrives at a country home and is soon beset by mysterious and vicious
wounds. What is he fighting every night that could do this, and why
does he persist? "The Daughter of Owls" recounts an eerie old tale of
a foundling girl who was left - with an owl pellet - as a newborn on
the steps of the Dymton Church. She was soon cloistered away in a
local convent, but by her fourteenth year word of her beauty had
spread - and those who would prey upon her faced unforeseen
consequences.
