Welcome to Litsy!

Satania reminds me of sci-fi movie from the 70s or 80s, where weird stuff happens and it‘s just sort of left for the reader to decide what it means.

In Satania our group of adventures end up in hell and are quickly over their heads in trouble. Vehlmann and Kerascoët don‘t pull any punches as madness and chaos reign down. It‘s a truly beautiful and disturbing read that I can eagerly recommend to any adult who enjoys ‘what the heck?‘ Type books.

The art of Satania is gorgeous. NBM published the book on sturdy, glossy paper, so the colours really pop. Husband-wife team, Kerascoët brings hell to life with their creative illustrations and vibrant palette. Unfortunately there were several noticeable issues with the text. A couple were grammatical but most issues involved part or all of a word missing from a speech bubble. It‘s a shame as this is otherwise such a lovely book.

The Boxing Day sales sucked me in. 😜 #bookhaul
