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
