In a quiet, long-abandoned house, something is bubbling up. Suddenly three shapeshifting magicians burst free — an elephant, a blackbird, and a red-haired girl — each setting off on their own journey, pursued by a fierce young Huntress and a mechanical lion-dragon named Clinker. French graphic artist Blexbolex's 182-page tour de force is impossible to categorize: part graphic novel, part picture book, part art object, part waking dream. The silkscreen-style illustrations, the unusually light, silky paper,  the text that runs in blue capitals beneath each image — all of these elements work together to create something different and unusual.
