Collected works from the past decade or so, presented out of chronological order so there's a little whiplash as far as the art goes. But every single story is hard hitting. Bianca Bagnarelli has a knack for bringing out the best and the worst in us, packaging it in her slick and colorful art, and always defying expectation. A lot of it is open ended, left to interpretation. A lot of it made me sick to my stomach, always riding the line between slice of life and psychological horror. I'm so glad her work is finally readily available
