HAZARDS OF LOVE BOOK 02 AS ABOVE SO BELOW

The second stunning collection of creator Stan Stanley’s YALSA Award–winning, Ignatz Award–nominated, critically acclaimed webcomic series, Hazards of Love, continues the epic tale of love, loss, and redemption . . . with a strong possibility of musical numbers. Welcome back to Bright World! A strange, otherworldly realm of the seemingly impossible, whose flesh-hungry inhabitants rule over any human unlucky enough to fall in! Locked into a cycle of lost memories, broken promises, and the threat of being imminently devoured, the humans in Bright World can only look forward to an existence that promises ceaseless servitude. This is where troublemaking Queens, New York, teenager Amparo found themself trapped after making a shady deal gone wrong with a suspect feline who then assumed Amparo’s identity, name, physical form—everything! Now, separated from their Brooklyn–based girlfriend, Iolanthe, Amparo must do everything in their power to escape the confines of Bright World and return home to their friends, family, and loved ones, even as they find themself turning into a monster due to the machinations of their sponsor, the enigmatic (and possibly evil) El Ciervo. But all isn't lost, because Iolanthe hasn't given up on finding the missing Amparo, and neither have her allies from both the land of the dead and the land of Brooklyn. All Amparo has to do is stay alive, but in Bright World, that's no easy feat.
