From the Publisher: "The Things is a horrifying story about an alien creature, thawed from the ice, who tries to understand the limitations and violent nature of the humans it experiences upon awakening. This being, a hive-mind and mutable biomass views the universe through a different lens which is why I chose to print it's thoughts and struggles in a totally unique way. Throughout the story, the creature is trying to understand its surroundings; by viewing the book with the aid of a UV flashlight you see these thoughts and see the world through the eyes of an alien being. Bold pen and ink illustrations are printed throughout that interact with the UV illustrations. Under normal light, the alien's thoughts appear as a blind impression, visible, but subtle. When viewed with a UV light, the illustrations unite and form a deeper narrative. The afterword features an interview with Peter Watts, who discusses this story. Standard edition, quarter-bound in Japanese book cloth with foil stamped logo and complimentary blue cloth on the spine. This edition comes with a blue metallic dust jacket UV printed and foil stamped for a high contrast, tactile experience.
