Publishers Weekly Starred Review
“A delightfully strange collection of linked stories pondering just how little people truly know about animals.” Publishers Weekly

“The Hoeys have absolute control of their craft for the effect of masterful storytelling.” Newcity Lit

“An anthology of magical realism and twists that will leave the reader gasping with delight” blogcritics.org

“…This book is a magnificent meditation on religion, wonder, and the mystery behind every pair of nonhuman eyes.” Paul Constant

“Alienating graphic novel… with a completely individual narrative. Fascinating from start to finish.”NRC Handelsblad (Netherlands)

“It’s like being taken on a long walk to see a gorgeous view, one which you don’t necessarily understand on the way, but really appreciate once you get there.” – Pipedream Comics

“The hints of shapeshifting, reincarnation, telepathy and spirit-bonds of the type that thread humans and other animals together throughout myth, fable, storybook, and sci-fi are pervasive…” HiLoBrow.com

“To read comics by Peter and Maria Hoey is to immerse oneself in the limitless possibilities of sequential art as a visual language. In these stories the Hoeys remind us once again of the storytelling eloquence and sophistication of the medium. Animal Stories is a mesmerising collection of unpredictable comics narratives.” Broken Frontier

After tremendous acclaim for their series Coin-Op Comics, two brilliant creators present their first graphic novel: a menagerie of wild tales. Pushing the boundaries of their dazzling and unique narrative style, Animal Stories weaves together six short stories exploring the mysterious relationships between humans and other animals.

A girl who keeps pigeons starts receiving messages from a new bird in her flock. A ship’s crew rescue a dog, only to find far stranger things in the sea around them. A reincarnated cat with criminal intentions, a parrot who leads a revolution, and a squirrel who tempts a woman in a beautiful garden glade.

Drawing inspiration from Aesop’s Fables, film noir, and the Old Testament, Peter and Maria Hoey apply their singular and sophisticated visual storytelling to create a new set of modern animal tales for modern times. – Top Shelf Productions
