Rest in Pieces
器官拼圖
Overview
English Sample Translation Available
Souls devoured and limbs forsaken.
When memories become a prison and your vision is stripped away.
The gods are dead and your lover cuts you open.
Death envelopes and then abandons you.
Flesh and blood dispersed; organs scattered. Can you put it all back together?
Reminiscent of Junji Ito’s disturbing yet intricate art style and H. P. Lovecraft’s eerie stories, Rest in Pieces uses grotesque imagery paired with Karmaket’s own dark-humored, poetic narrative style to tell stories of human relationships and haunting loneliness. This title includes the following short stories: “Apparitions of the Universe”, “Phantom Limb”, “Housing for Rent”, “Mosquito Man”, “King of Salt Lake”, “The Anatomy of Love”, “Deep Diving”, “Stay with You”, “Rest in Pieces”, “Blood Red Bullion”, “Somewhere on Fire”
