FANTASY
THE LABYRINTH Hardcover
STORY/ART/COVER: Simon Stålenhag
OCTOBER 13 | 184 PAGES | FULL COLOR | TEEN+ | $45.00
Visionary illustrator and author Simon Stålenhag (THE ELECTRIC STATE, TALES FROM THE LOOP) presents a tense, dark tale of ruin and vengeance set among a stunning sci-fi apocalypse like you’ve never seen before.
An eight-wheeled vehicle trundles across a barren landscape of ash and ruined buildings, toward a lone bunker, deep in the wilderness. Inside the vehicle are three passengers: two scientists —who plan to use the outpost as a home base for the study of world-ending phenomena — and a boy named Charlie.
As the work unfolds, the isolation and claustrophobia of the compound threatens each member of the expedition with madness. Forced to confront their own dark history and the struggles of the haves and have-nots, the members of the expedition find themselves hurtling toward ruin.
