This volume is packed with incredibly stunning illustrations and back stories… Anastasia shows so much diversity from story to story and it’s intoxicating!.. It speaks to my love and appreciation for all things morbid to the letter. I love how you can keep picking this up and find something new to lust over every single time. I can’t wait for volume 2!!
TheBookishCrypt in praise of Volume One
Cirque du Mort is a wonderful mix of Victorian gothic, ghost stories and murder mystery, all wrapped up with stunning illustrations that rival the colour pallet of any Baz Luhrmann film... With lavish illustrations done in rich colours to counterbalance the dark tales within, Cirque du Mort is a stunning collection of short stories to delight and haunt everyone.
Geek Syndicate in praise of Volume One
The combination of illustrations along with the dark tales makes this book a collector’s item every horror fan should own. With great discipline and perfectly spaced detail, Catris reminds us why the circus is such a great source of horror... From the first page the reader gets swept up in the darkness through her perfect illustrations. They are beautiful and haunting at the same time, while tying into the theme as if it’s a parchment sent from an alternative history.
