The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya #1
The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, Volume I
Set in seventeenth-century Istanbul, The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, Vol I is a beautifully drawn meditation on love, home, faith and loss. It tells the story of Zeynel, an ordinary man surrounded by the extraordinary – his life, his death, and the aftermath of his unwilling transformation into a vampire.
Born into an esteemed family of scholars, the young Zeynel meets Ayşe, an Anatolian girl from a tiny village, who harbours big dreams. Where he is insecure and pressured to live up to the expectations of other people, she is sure of herself and knows exactly how to achieve what she wants. Perhaps there is more to their meeting than just chance.
Twenty-five years later, Ayşe is a successful businesswoman, and Zeynel her contented husband. But on a trip one evening, he plays Good Samaritan to a mysterious traveller, who turns out to be his undoing… Forced into unfortunate circumstances he must learn to reconcile himself with his curse and make sacrifices to protect the people he loves, even if that means letting go of the things he holds most dear.

Reality: a bittersweet and beautiful love story, with vampires and the heartbreak of mortality.
The illustrations are gorgeous, though I didn't expect anything less from Reimena Yee.

March 25, 2021Un hombre no sale de su camarote hasta que se pone el sol. Los marineros, sorprendidos, lo saludan. Es moreno, con un turbante naranja, unos pequeños anteojos y muchas ojeras, y dice que tiene sensibilidad al sol y por eso no ha salido antes. Los marineros se ríen y comentan que debe ser su amuleto de la suerte, pues en este viaje no ha habido ratas a bordo. Cuando se despiden, el hombre saca una rata del abrigo, susurra un “bismillah”, un “lo siento”, y muerde la rata para tomar su sangre.
Así empieza The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya , una de las historias interiores de The World In Deepest Inspection , el webcómic experimental de Reimena Yee que se está publicando de forma independiente en Unbound, una plataforma británica de autoedición de libros a través de micromecenazgo.
No recuerdo cómo llegué a la obra de Yee, pero desde hace años he seguido sus proyectos, que espero que veamos en nuestro idioma: desde Séance Tea Party , una historia para niños sobre una niña y la fantasma que habita en su casa, pasando por My Aunt Is a Monster, una futura publicación gráfica sobre una niña ciega escritora y su tía, que guarda un gran secreto, hasta su proyecto más ambicioso, Alexander, The Servant & The Water of Life , una iteración de los romances de Alejandro Magno vistos desde el siglo XXI.
En The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, después de esta pequeña escena inicial y de otra, donde vemos a nuestro misterioso protagonista vender una alfombra hecha por su familia, nos adentramos en la juventud de Zeynel, hijo de estudiosos, médicos y sabios sefardíes, en la sociedad otomana de finales del siglo XVII. Zeynel, que vive con un miedo terrible a su futuro y a las expectativas de sus padres, se encuentra con una familia de mercaderes de alfombras para proponer un matrimonio. En contraste con las inquietudes de Zeynel aparece Ayşe, una mujer que tiene muy claro lo que quiere y cómo lo quiere; lo único que necesita es alguien que la ayude en su sueño de montar un negocio de alfombras en Estambul. Y ese alguien, si todo va bien, será Zeynel.

If you had asked me a month ago what my favorite webcomic was, I probably would have said "Darths & Droids." But that was before I discovered the storytelling genius of Reimena Yee and "The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya." Don't get me wrong, D&D is great, but it has never affected me like TCM. This is a story that has made me laugh, made me "aww," made me cry a veritable bucket of tears, and has stayed in my mind ever since I finished reading it. It's a story of love, faith, heartbreak, compassion, and forgiveness. It's a story to restore your faith in humanity.
Volume 1 consists of 2 chapters. Chapter 1, "The Carpet Merchant," covers how Zeynel and Ayse met and fell in love and how they became successful carpet merchants together. Chapter 2, "The Vampire," picks up 25 years into their marriage and details Zeynel's death and return as a vampire while on a business trip, plus the immediate aftermath of his transformation. It sounds very matter-of-fact when I sum it up so briefly, but the truth is that Chapter 2 turned me into a complete emotional wreck. Knowing the utter adorable wholesomeness of Ayse and Zeynel's relationship in Chapter 1 made the anguish caused by Zeynel's turning in Chapter 2 much more intense in contrast.
(Note: Volume 1 contains only the first half of the story. Volume 2 doesn't appear to have a GoodReads listing yet, but it can be read online at Reimena Yee's website, which is also linked in the book description.)
Something about TCM that really struck a chord in me was its defiance of tropes and expectations. Although modern vampire fiction has a lot of "good" vampires, they're usually the dark-and-broody type that sometimes seem to straddle the line between hero and villain. They tend to be suave (but often morally gray) action heroes who use violence or their supernatural abilities to solve problems. Zeynel is the complete opposite: socially anxious, nerdy, empathetic, and totally opposed to violence. It's not Zeynel's vampire abilities that make him heroic; it's his extraordinary capacity for self-sacrifice, compassion, and faith.
(Semi-silly but also kinda serious side note: If Zeynel is not the perfect embodiment of a "precious cinnamon roll" character, then I don't know who is. I just want to hug him. All the time.)
Another aspect of TCM that I found to be a breath of fresh air was the honesty and candor between Zeynel and Ayse. So many stories about magic or the supernatural feature heroes who keep secrets from the people they love, and it ALWAYS ends up driving a wedge between them. To read about a couple whose trust in each other is so absolute that it takes only a single night for Zeynel to confess his curse to his wife was immensely gratifying.
I've talked about the story, but since TCM is a webcomic/graphic novel, I naturally must also talk about the art. If I had to describe the art of TCM in a single word, that word would be stunning. It's only fitting that such a beautiful story should be accompanied by beautiful art. Every single page of TCM is visually pleasing, but some of the spreads just take my breath away with their phenomenal intricacy. I am in awe, imagining the hours upon hours of work that must have gone into researching, planning, and drawing not only the gorgeous carpets featured in Zeynel and Ayse's business, but also the architecture, characters' clothing, and the complex backgrounds, borders, and embellishments in the page layouts. I mean, just look at this masterpiece! And the characters' faces are SO expressive. Plenty of panels don't have any dialogue or narration, but plenty of panels don't need it because the emotions are visually so clear.
Take this little snippet for example: Even completely removed from the context of the rest of the page, it's plain that Zeynel's smile is strained and fake. His thoughts are written all over his face: Help this is not what I wanted I need to disappear AAAAAAHH!
I'm only half joking when I say that Reimena Yee may have ruined me for graphic novels. From now on, anything else will have a hard time living up in my mind to her incredible, touching, beautiful feat of storytelling. So if you're a reader who's wondering whether "The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya" is worth reading, I'm telling you: It is ABSOLUTELY worth reading. I would rate it 6 stars out of 5 if I could. I was sad when I found out it didn't win the Eisner awards. I am frustrated that nobody I personally know has read it so I can fangirl over it with them. So go read it. Fall in love with it. Tell your friends about it. And then, if you can, go back the crowdfunding project for a hardback edition of Volume 1. (The campaign is scheduled to end in September 2018, FYI.) This story deserves to be on shelves in bookstores, libraries, and people's houses.
Reimena Yee, I thank you most sincerely for putting such a wonderful piece of art into the world.
PS: Hey, GoodReads librarians or anyone who has the ability to edit book titles... The correct spelling is Konstantiniyya with single N's and double Y's, not Konstantinniya with double N's and a single Y. I see that this has now been fixed. Thank you!
Dec 11, 2018 UPDATE on the crowdfunding campaign: Volume 1 is now FULLY FUNDED! A hardcover edition of TCM is really going to happen! *excited squealing* You can still go back it to reserve yourself a copy at the link I included in my review.

i absolutely adored this.
February 16, 2020
Beautiful art and story, with very endearing characters. I really enjoyed this depiction of life in the Ottoman Empire -- the clothes, the architecture, the textile patterns, the human diversity and the layer of Islam was very interesting and immersive. Will definitely look into the next book! The single thing that could perhaps be improved was the print quality for the darker scenes, it was sometimes very difficult to make out what was going on so I had to look up the corresponding pages in the webcomic, where the colours look great. But aside from that, the book is a magnificent tome!

My first ever graphic novel I own.
Picked this up because I was looking for a graphic novel and the illustrations were just *chefs kiss*
The story felt a bit abstract though but I think I just need to get used to reading this format.

A tender, beautifully crafted work. Holding this book in your hands feels like holding an important text—a guidebook for how to love and how to live through suffering and doubt. Quiet and powerful.

Clearly this is a deep and profoundly beautiful love story. Beautifully told, with gorgeous illustrations. My only complaint, such as it is, being that the vampiric elements were not more prominent, more detailed. Still, a wonderful narrative and a compelling narrative. I’m looking forward to The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, Volume II.

Gorgeous: beautiful and bittersweet story of a devoted carpet-weaving/selling couple in late 17th-century Istanbul, and what happens when one of them meets a ghul on the road.
November 25, 2019
The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, as a whole, is an incredible tale of love, loss and a journey of self-discovery. Reimena Yee has created an immersive story that had me, on several occasions, tearing up and laughing aloud, and feeling such an overwhelming love for the characters and their lives. Zeynel and Ayşe, and the hardships that they had to face throughout the story, are written so well that it's difficult not to care! It's inspiring and beautifully illustrated, and I highly recommend this graphic novel to anyone and everyone.

I fell in love with one of the earlier panels and decided to get the book. I was impressed by how dense and beautiful the book was!! Such gorgeous and heartfelt story, I had to continue reading the second volume & now I look forward to get its physical copy too. Totally recommend!
November 27, 2019
This book is truly an immersive experience. The panels are lush with details and motifs from Ottoman art and beyond. What is best about this book, is of course the story. It’s more than a story about just a vampire. The book is about growing up, faith, love and, at it’s core, personal humanity that we cultivate through the small ordinary events in our lives.

I backed this on a whim ages ago and spent the next few months prevaricating between forgetting all about it and regretting the impulse (#BrokeStudentLife) but oh dear god, when it finally arrived, it was beautiful. An absolutely stunning hardback, filled with gorgeous and unique art and a vibrant, compelling story. This is a book overflowing with love, and it even made me cry a little. Highly recommended.

The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya is a beautiful tale about love and death by vampirism, refreshingly moving the beats of traditional vampire Gothic literature away from its usual Westernised setting. Reimena Yee weaves exquisite tapestries of panel layouts in this book, taking inspiration from the Persian carpets the characters sell, and pushes the boundaries of comics as a storytelling medium, with pacing and beats that immersed me into the emotions of the characters, and made me cry and laugh with them.
The love that the main characters have for each other is absolutely tangible, and is a beautiful, heartwarming, and at times heartbreaking driving factor in the story, and in sweeping you up in the reading experience. I cannot wait to read more of Reimena Yee’s work! ✨

I have been following Yee's work for years and read this book while it was being released as a webcomic. It's a deeply moving story about family, faith, and love, beautifully rendered in Yee's distinct style and integrated with Turkish and Islamic art-inspired details. My hard copy came in the mail today and I couldn't be more excited to read it again!
August 7, 2018
This is one of those stories that genuinely makes you feel like there's still hope for humanity, it's heartbreaking and sweet at the same time. Beautiful storytelling melds with incredible artwork and it makes this one of the best stories I've ever read. I don't usually get this sappy, and I almost NEVER cry after reading a book (well, webcomic in this case but still) but this one did it for me.
September 1, 2018
Adding this in goodreads to remind myself to read the second volume. Gorgeous and intricate art, strong woman character, and supernatural setting in 17th century Istanbul. And carpets. Sometimes they have vampires too.

Very rarely do I get absolutely brainblasted by the style of a comic I’m reading, but this? Oh my GOD. An absolute feast for the eyes. The art here is just so phenomenal. It looks both effortless and utterly painstaking to draw; the carpets and patterns are stunning. I loved the panels and pages that clearly draw on Turkish and Islamic art from the same period this is set; every so often the comic will break from the usual paneling to wash the reader in the most beautiful images in the world just for fun? Incredible.
Story-wise I was utterly in love with Zeyel and Ayse, they were genuinely so sweet. Zeyel was a wonderful protagonist and watching him— and the art when he’s going through this— struggle with his faith and his nature and his love was really compelling. He’s very believable and charming as a character. He’s SO charming; I saw a man so beautiful and silly that I started crying and immediately gave him all the money in my wallet levels of charming. to ME.
This was a really fun read. Every once and a while the pacing— when large swaths of time were taking place— would disorient me a bit but that’s the smallest nitpick in the world this was an effortless read and I found myself just pausing and staring at some of the pages for a… normal amount of time…

I've been sitting on this review for a few days because I wanted to gush about my favorite parts but I also don't want to spoil things for new readers. What I love the most about this story is how easy it was to find myself absorbed in the story and the characters.
Zeynal was so relatable to me, especially his empathy, his anxiety, his love for other people's stories, his faith, and how easily tears came to him (I had to hold back tears multiple times reading this GN). I love, love, loved how Zeynal and Ayşe made their relationship work and how supportive both families were towards their kids and their dreams.
I think it really speaks volumes about Reimena Yee's craft that TCM felt like it spoke right to my soul. Aw, I can feel the waterworks coming just from remembering certain parts in TCM, especially the sweet exchanges Zeynal and Ayşe shared BECAUSE THEY'RE SO IN LOVE AND SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER.
ANYWAY, PLEASE, PLEASE READ THIS! You might not feel as strong an emotional connection as I do, but the art and the story are so full of life.

Holy shit this might be one of the best comics I've ever read???
The art is so stylized and beautiful - like a carpet come to life with all of its vibrant, ever-changing colours, strong shape-language and strong design! The way Reimena Yee uses panel layouts and just does visual storytelling in general is fantastic - so much information and emotion is crammed into such elegant and simple panel transitions that it honestly left me breathless. The slight changes in style during important moments fit so well, and in general the art and the story fit so well together. The story is also interesting and the characters are nuanced and endearing, making me care about them after just a couple of pages and leaving me sobbing over how much I love them.
I expected to love this book and I might just have found one of my all-time favourite works of fiction.

Impossibly fantastic, ambitious on multiple layers. And succeeding on all! Characters, themes, culture and art, all carefully balanced to produce this beautiful story. It's quiet and nuanced and clearly made with a lot of sincerity. It's thick but a quick read because there are beautifully laid out pages where the story is just allowed to breathe and the emotions allowed to sink in.
If you're looking for an action packed fantasy adventure this isn't the book for you. But if you're looking for charismatic characters, slice of life in a fantasy setting, and to feel many emotions, this is it. The world feels strangely tangible in a way unlike other fantasies, almost like it really happened in a history book.
I've been telling just about anyone interested in books about this!
