Review Absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, I have never seen artwork so lovely. Ever. I actually gasped when I first saw it. -- Regie Rigby, Silver Bullet Comics, June 2002 Edi's art brings further life to the story, drawing us into Marsiti's world and keeping us fixed till the end. -- Joe Palmer, The Gay League, June 2002 High production values will surely mark these books out from the pack. -- Borderline Magazine, May 2002 Product Description Silent and merciless, a creature of darkness has come to prey on an island village. Babies vanish, mothers are murdered, and the threat of evil grows with each night. The village becomes a battleground as the onrush of the twentieth century clashes with tradition--and the restless spirits of the islands mythical past... Set in late colonial Indonesia, Garlands of Moonlight relates a Malay vampire legend in graphic novel format. Printed in a black and silver duotone, the book captures the quaint feel of turn-of-the-century daguerreotype photographs. Illustrated by Indonesian artist Rizky Wasisto Edi; winner of a 2002 Xeric award. About the Author Jai Sen, a writer of speculative fiction, divides his time between New York and Tokyo. Born in Hyderabad, India, Sen lived in Indonesia for seven years. There, he acquired a taste for supernatural folktales. He is the author of Garlands of Moonlight, and is currently working on a historical graphic novel planned for release by Shoto Press in the late fall of 2002.
