Gastronomique #1 A Main (Dressed, Masellis)
You’ll want to take a bite out of NYT-bestselling writer Marguerite Bennett’s all-new erotic body horror and historical thriller, with sensual and stomach-turning art from Eisner-nominated illustrator Helena Masellis! Tarrare the cannibal may be compelled to eat, but Lady Charlotte (codename: The Python) is a cold-blooded spy compelled to hunt. A visceral game of cat-and-mouse begins as Lady Charlotte hunts down the elusive cannibal stalking the streets of France during the revolution, and she’ll stop at nothing to pursue her prey! Lady Charlotte’s quest for revenge is aided by her former lover Zélie, and together they explore the seedy underbelly of Paris and each other in a hypnotic fever dream. Prepare to swoon over industry veteran and GLAAD-nominated writer Marguerite Bennett (ODIN, Bombshells, Batwoman)’s blood-lusty tale bursting at the seams with vengeance, unbridled sexuality, and most importantly, horror! After all, there’s nothing scarier than a woman’s voracious appetite.
