Bibliomania, by Macchiro and Orval
I've spent a delightful evening yesterday reading the French edition of Bibliomania by Macchiro (art) and Orval (scenario).
Alice, our protagonist, awakes in room 431 of a phantasmagorical manor. To get back to the outside world, she has has to make her way up through every room until she reaches room 000. Unfortunately, the further she gets from her room, the more and faster her body rots and mutates.
The best way I can describe it is: Junji Ito's Uzumaki meets Terry Gilliam's Brazil. It has the body horror of the former and the cosmic horror of the latter (this is where you say "there's no cosmic horror in Brazil" and I ask "are you sure?") but mostly the vibes of both, idk. THE VIBES, MAN, THE VIBES.
Basically, if you see the cover and it vibes with you, you should read it.
