Almost Silent packages four original graphic novels, by Norwegian author, Jason, into one compact, hardcover omnibus collection.
You Can't Get There From Here tells the tale, in colour, of a love triangle involving Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Monster, and The Monster's Bride. Tell Me Something is a brisk near-totally-silent graphic novelette about love lost and found again, told with a tricky mixture of forward- and back-flashing narrative. Meow, Baby is a collection of Jason's short stories and gags, and finally, The Living and the Dead is a hilariously deadpan (and gory) take on the traditional Romero-style zombie thriller.
All of these yarns star Jason's patented cast of tight-lipped (or -beaked) bird-, dog-, cat- and wolf-people, and show off his compassion and wry wit.
“Jason’s work is poetry. Beautiful and frightening. Redemptive and hopeless. He is the Kafka and Keats of the comic world.” - Sherman Alexie
