"A razor-sharp and often uncomfortable dark comedy that will leave readers... cringing as much as laughing."
-Tom Murphy, Broken Frontier
Lucius Vile is a demon condemned to work in a used car dealership-cum-bookstore. With coworkers who seemingly hate his guts, a therapist whose methods aren't quite sound, an annoying new assistant named Daniel, and a sex life that could be kindly described as highly complicated, let's just say things are getting a bit hectic for Lucius. But who cares, right? Because today, it's Halloween, Lucius's favorite day of the year. Animated by an absurd and transgressive sense of humor, Vile and Miserable is raw, laugh-out-loud comedy of terrors for grown-ups.

In 2011, after a few highly ridiculous years spent studying cinema and literature (years resulting in a short film about a miserable little devil who worked in an office and a short story about a miserable little devil who worked in an office), Samuel Cantin finally decided to roll up his sleeves and do what he does best: he published a graphic novel about a lonely astronaut travelling through space with a panda. Two years later he boldly stepped out of his comfort zone by releasing a book about a little devil who works in a bookstore. This is it.
