Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Can you ever escape your fate?
Three shadows stand outside the house — and Louis and Lise know why the spectral figures are there. The shadows have come for Louis and Lise's son, and nothing anyone can do will stop them. Louis cannot let his son die without trying to prevent it, so the family embarks on a journey to the ends of the earth, fleeing death. Poignant and suspenseful, Three Shadows is a haunting story of love and grief, told in moving text and sweeping black and white artwork by Cyril Pedrosa. Review:"Pedrosa's intriguing, poignant fable unfolds beautifully in both words and pictures. The fluidity of the art reflects Pedrosa's roots in animation....[A] dark, well crafted tale." Booklist Review:"Pedrosa is a former Disney animator...and his command of styles is impressive, but in this melancholy, hefty black-and-white book, the well-expressed sense of grief and inevitability that come through the storyline predominate even over the art. (Grade: A-)" The Onion AV Club Review:"[A] nearly perfect graphic novel, a story where the art and words are unified in a way that happens all-too rarely....It's not only the best graphic novel I've read since at least Craig Thompson's Blankets, it's one of the best novels of any kind I've ever seen." ComicMix.com Review:"Three Shadows is a sometimes subtle, sometimes chaotic, always beautiful book that dares to tackle every parent's deepest fear. Heartbreaking and brilliant by turns, this is required reading." A Fuse #8 Production Review:"This is clearly a story about love and sacrifice, nobility and fearlessness, but how and why, I can't say. Pedrosa is a marvellous illustrator...and a strange and compelling storyteller." Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net About the AuthorCyril Pedrosa began his career in animation, working on the Disney films Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules. He has since become a rising star in a new kind of graphic storytelling, combining the influences of animation and the literary traditions of Borges, Garcia Marquez, and Tolkien to create a unique visual handwriting.
