Blut auf den Rosenblatten......Book of Short Stories. Signed and Numbered (first printing run)

Hell, it is said, is a bottomless pit – no matter how deep we sink into the darkness, there’s always new horrors awaiting us below.
In their second collaboration, artist Ian Van Gemert once again plays dark muse to writer Hugh Newton, who takes us hand-in-unlovable-hand into the landscapes of a shadowy universe, saturated in malevolent spirits and wounded souls, where the struggle between innocence and evil draws the reader ever-deeper into the mad depths of sadistic retributions between characters both grotesque and ethereal, divine and debased.
In this collections second sequence, Van Gemert’s portraits, which dance between beauty and depravity, are accompanied by the stories of writer Luke Carman, whose folk loric tales bring us a war ravaged world possessed by the diabolical spirits of vengeance, where the rose of human nature first begins to bloom the colour of blood – stories of a time long past, from which the pit of hell continues to speak.
