Little Bird and Precious Metal writer Darcy Van Poelgeest is back, teaming up with wwatercolor artist Erin Connally on a brand-new Image Comics graphic novel, The Cutting Garden.
“The Cutting Garden has been a labor of love for many years and I’m thrilled we can finally share it with the world,” said Van Poelgeest via press release. “The process of writing and creating this story has sincerely changed me, as a writer, and a person. My hope now is that readers will take this journey themselves through the stifling shadows of Louisiana, and perhaps they too might feel a change.”
Added Connally, “As my debut in comics, I wanted to offer readers a visual feast that represents both Darcy and my fascination with beauty and decay. As a southerner, I needed to capture the landscape that’s inspired me since I was a child. The Cutting Garden is this combination—a weird little Southern Gothic lullaby that I hope readers will be entranced by.”
Wondering what it’s all about? You can check out the synopsis and a preview below. The Cutting Garden hits stores on September 2.
On a quiet street in New Orleans, a mysterious girl seeks out a florist to deliver an earth-shattering truth in a final act of kindness and redemption. The Cutting Garden is an intimate and elegant gothic tale that shares bloodlines with contemporary literary horror books like that of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and postmodern indie films like The Tree of Life.
