After his search for the ancient gods ended with answers—but more questions—theologian Uri Tupka travels further to discover the truth about the darkness before the world began, and what it means for mankind.
Heretic and theologian Uri Tupka has learned of the gods and now must learn of the universe, and so he visits a Baron’s library of books beyond even Uri’s imagination. However night after night in the library brings not just new insight and clarity on the origins of the world, but threatens to consume Uri himself as his unquenchable search for understanding may put him directly in the path of danger.
In this follow-up to Uri Tupka and the Gods and Bowling with Corpses, Mignola returns to Lands Unknown to both write and draw this original graphic novel that explores the origins of legends and how they can change us. Longtime Mignola collaborator, colorist Dave Stewart, joins this mythic tale.
Praise for Bowling with Corpses and Other Strange Tales from Lands Unknown:
"This is a world I’m terrified to live in, mostly because I know I’d never want to leave.”—Patton Oswalt (Minor Threats)
“I wish I could write a love letter to this dark enchantment of a book, whose pages are filled with all that I adore most: the human and the supernatural, colliding in tales of wisdom, humor, and quiet longing — as well as the most sumptuous art that a heart could hope to feast on.”—Marjorie Liu (Monstress)
“Gorgeous and mysterious art. Fantastic and funny storytelling. Delightfully dark and whimsical. Mignola has done it again. Behold the glorious glory in this magical book of tales!!!”—Jorge R. Gutierrez (The Book of Life)
