Praise for Incidents in the Night Book 1:
finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (Graphic Novel category):
"One of 10 Best Comics and Graphic Novels of the year."—Time
"A treat for sophisticated adult story omnivores with a taste for bizarre mysteries."—Library Journal
"Incidents owes more than a bit to Jorge Luis Borges's short stories."—Douglas Wolk, The Washington Post
At the end of first Incidents in the Night, David B. met an uncertain demise in a bizarre cliffhanger. In Book 2, the worlds of Epileptic and Incidents in the Night become entangled as the author's dead brother, Jean-Christophe, joins the cast to solve the mystery and uncover the occult machinations of the mad editor, Émile Travers. Book 2 is another treat for lovers of books and literary mysteries. Once again the translation is by acclaimed novelist Brian Evenson.
David B. is one of the world's finest cartoonists and a co-founder of the legendary L'Association collective. He is the author of many graphic novels including Epileptic, which was awarded Angouleme International Comics Festival Prize for Scenario and the Ignatz Award for Outstanding Artist.
Brian Evenson is the author of eleven prize-winning books of fiction, including The Open Curtain, Last Days, Windeye, and Immobility. His work has been translated into over a dozen languages. He lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island, where he teaches at Brown University.

"One of the Best Graphic Novels of the Year. The story being told is cerebral and visceral in equal measure, and it succeeds impressively in both qualities." Paste Magazine
"Unlikely in the strangest, most compelling sense is what David B. is after in this project, which merges a detective story with the kind of philosophical arcana that marks, say, the Illuminatus! Trilogy. The result is a narrative that takes place in the interstices of reality, in which a man could hide from the Angel of Death for 150 years by folding himself into the letters on a printed page." David Ulin, Los Angeles Times
"Incidents in the Night immediately calls to mind postmodern works: Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, Borges's short story "The Library of Babel," and Umberto Eco's Foucault’s Pendulum. Simultaneously, you are drawn into the nooks and crevices of a private detective story." World Literature Today
"The daring, nimble narrative has more bizarre, thought-provoking ideas than an entire shelf of historical conspiracy novels, and the deep shadows and dark streets of Paris are captured in sinister, inky blacks. This is a metaphysical Tintin-esque adventure with a vivid, confident story and artwork to match, as well as a cunning cliffhanger ending to set up volume three." Publishers Weekly
"Whether it’s read as a strange meditation on storytelling and obsession or a detective story unlike any other, this volume of Incidents in the Night has plenty of strange and compelling narratives to offer. As befits a story in which rare books and obscure histories play a key role, there’s a slightly insular quality here. The story being told is cerebral and visceral in equal measure, and it succeeds impressively in both qualities." Paste Magazine
"Poetically told, rich in religious and societal allegory as well as knowledge of occult histories, Incidents In The Night 2 is full of strange delights, both large and small." The Quietus
