Incidents in the Night Book 2

"One of the Best Graphic Novels of the Year. The story being told is cerebral and visceral in equal measure, and it succeeds impressively in both qualities."—Paste Magazine

"Unlikely — in the strangest, most compelling sense — is what David B. is after in this project, which merges a detective story with the kind of philosophical arcana that marks, say, the Illuminatus! Trilogy. The result is a narrative that takes place in the interstices of reality, in which a man could hide from the Angel of Death for 150 years by folding himself into the letters on a printed page."—David Ulin, Los Angeles Times

"Incidents in the Night immediately calls to mind postmodern works: Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, Borges's short story "The Library of Babel," and Umberto Eco's Foucault’s Pendulum. Simultaneously, you are drawn into the nooks and crevices of a private detective story."—World Literature Today

"The daring, nimble narrative has more bizarre, thought-provoking ideas than an entire shelf of historical conspiracy novels, and the deep shadows and dark streets of Paris are captured in sinister, inky blacks. This is a metaphysical Tintin-esque adventure with a vivid, confident story and artwork to match, as well as a cunning cliffhanger ending to set up volume three."—Publishers Weekly

"Whether it’s read as a strange meditation on storytelling and obsession or a detective story unlike any other, this volume of Incidents in the Night has plenty of strange and compelling narratives to offer. As befits a story in which rare books and obscure histories play a key role, there’s a slightly insular quality here. The story being told is cerebral and visceral in equal measure, and it succeeds impressively in both qualities."—Paste Magazine

"Poetically told, rich in religious and societal allegory as well as knowledge of occult histories, Incidents In The Night 2 is full of strange delights, both large and small."—The Quietus
