This book is full of quite detailed, even ornate, drawings. And it’s not really the art, though that is certainly the most interesting aspect to be singled out. It’s not the characters, because they are far from whole. There’s a book called The Squirrel Machine that keep cropping up, but its relevance or importance is anyone’s guess. The story’s a bit like a fever dream, and it depicts a few of those, tumbling things even farther into its churning delirium.
I don’t mean that I couldn’t suss out what happens in the surreal narrative, but just that it wanders. It’s not the plot, because there really isn’t one.
There’s something about this book I really liked. There’s their odd mother, and a girl named Morgen who gets banged in what I can best describe as a snail sorter. There’s a crazy woman known as Pig Lady, and they somehow have a cavernous workshop hidden beneath the house their father left them. As a hobby, they make steampunky musical instruments out of animal carcasses and phonographs and sundry things. I’m not even really sure what it’s about, but it’s pretty messed up.Įdward and William are two very smart little rich kids living off their father’s inheritance.
