Description
Out of the twilight arise creatures magical and human, worlds strange and familiar. This debut Gaelic graphic novel, now translated into English for the first time, is a collection of a dozen original short tales. Cape Breton author-artist Angus MacLeod draws inspiration from the storytelling, history, and ancient beliefs of the Scottish Gaels, Lovecraftian horror, and 1950s comic books. Illustrated in black and white. This is the English translated edition of Ás a' Chamhanaich.
