Things That Once Seen Cannot Be Easily Unseen

Tiny Ghosts #2

by Dominic Peloso, James Newberry (Introduction)

This is the second volume of the photo-comic, "tiny ghosts." tiny ghosts is a creepy, melancholy, sometimes depressing, sometimes darkly humorous, weekly, photo webcomic. It's maybe about what it feels like to be a monster or a ghost or a robot, but not the scary kind. It's about being frightened of war and what you might turn into when you grow up if you aren't careful. It's about loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves you but really hoping he does, because pretty much everyone else thinks you are a weirdo. Each comic is a combination of two sentences of a story and two photographs. The reader is encouraged to use this fragment as a seed and develop the rest of the story within their own minds.

About the author

The author has tried a number of methods to make people cry over the years — pulling their pigtails, putting spiders in their lunch, waterboarding, and telling them that he loves them when he knows in his heart it isn't true, but he's found that the most effective way by far is by making comic strips to post on the internet.

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. It was described as creepy, melancholy, sometimes depressing, sometimes darkly humorous and it delivered. If you like the bizarre, this is the book for you.
