ARLENE’S HEART

BY VICTORIA FRANCES

Rising star Victoria Frances, whose Favola series of illustrated vampire books have become worldwide bestsellers, joins NBM for her newest graphic novel! ARLENE’S HEART is a metaphor for hope in the shape of a fable, where child-like fantasy contrasts with the feeling of isolation and alienation that invades everyday life. Lyrically and suggestively painted, ARLENE’S HEART is a visual poem of sensuous gothic beauty for mature readers. You can see previews of the book at http://www.nbmpub.com/comicslit/arlenes_heart/pre1.html.

Full-color jacketed hardcover, 8 1/2” x 11”, 80 pages, $24.95, ISBN 978-1-56163-552-8.
