Enter the incredible world of Alex Pardee - inhabited by a disturbing menagerie of misfit monsters and improbable heroes plucked from the very nightmares of childhood. This newest collection expands upon his previous work, showcased in Awful / Homesick, to bring us a broader picture of the extent of his twisted genius and the dark themes that run through his work. Yet, amongst the entrails and decapitations, the gaping maws of razor-sharp teeth, im probable appendages and suppurating fleshy masses, we discover a vein of goodness, of humanity. We see children, calling for help as they languish encased in the seethrough digestive chambers of horrific monsters, as evidence of either a loss or a craving for innocence. Wide eyes stare childlike as terrifying creatures lovingly clasp and support each other, providing comfort in their search for community - misfits iin a world where only normalcy is rewarded. Prepare to be surprised!
