Cochlea & Eustachia appear to be twin human girls, but this has yet to be confirmed. Their actions seem to be motivated less by curiosity than boredom and an inclination towards purposeless destruction. Any connate objective remains to be determined. They never stray apart from each other, out of an unspoken proclivity. Perhaps they keep together because they resemble each other; a mixture of vanity and comfort is the foundation of their constant companionship. They seem to consider any creature with dissimilar features as inept or untrustworthy. They are suspected of giving hypnotic suggestions to cats. They do not seem particularly malicious, just meddlesome. This new graphic novel from the author of the acclaimed Squirrel Machine is lighter in tone than his previous works, yet its myriad charms remain as sinister as Rickheit fans would expect.

STONES CORNER, Turmoil V1 Stones Corner, Turmoil V1 is an intense, gripping thriller with numerous twists and plots. It describes the realities and truth of life in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, in the early 1970s, the onset of what became known as "The Troubles." Turmoil recaps the cruelty, violence, heartache, poverty and desire of ordinary men and women attempting to survive in a world of sectarianism, discrimination, and militancy. The narrative follows the lives of an innocent Catholic girl from the wrong side of the tracks, a young, inexperienced British Soldier who finds himself hated and despised by the locals, to a charming but gullible Scot doing his utmost to save his uncle's shirt factory from closing by a bigoted antagonist. Their stories combine to form a cliffhanging ending to introduce Stones Corner, Darkness V2. Warning: Turmoil contains violence and strong language that some readers may find upsetting. 18+
