OverviewAfter the globally sold-out success of their first book Weird and Wonderful Post-Mortem Fairy Tales and the even more successful follow-up Dark and Dystopian Post-Mortem Fairy Tales, the artistic and eccentric duo Mothmeister once again ignites the imagination with their third book: Sinister and Spiritual Post-Mortem Fairy Tales. This grim and spiritual dream world is inspired by bog bodies, druids, voodoo cults, the mummified Sokushinbutsu monks, the cannibalistic Asmat tribe, Victorian freak shows, and much more. As always, Mothmeister pays homage to the animal kingdom, which, through their passion for taxidermy, comes to life in an enchanting biotope where everything coexists intuitively and effortlessly. Partly familiar, but mostly surreal. And because of that, extraordinarily intriguing. AUTHOR: The dystopian dream world of the Belgian duo Mothmeister intrigues a large and loyal fan base worldwide. Their dark, constantly mutating fairy tale figures pay homage to taxidermy. Mothmeister's muses? Their impressive private collection of stuffed animals, masks, costumes, numerous international artists they collaborate with, and their unbridled wanderlust. SELLING POINTS: .
