Tinged with humor, this gothic-inspired children’s graphic novel with a Tim Burton-esque touch invites you on a fabulous journey to the Silent Kingdoms… Persephone met Death the year she turned twelve, on a Thursday, at 11:52 PM. It was the day of the wake for her neighbor, Victor Columbaria.
She only truly gets to know him after his death when she comes face to face with his somewhat bewildered ghost. Charles and Théophile, collectors of sighs, are two days late… There is life after death, and the last sigh is the price to enter it. If it is not collected, the deceased is condemned to wander… So, Persephone doesn’t hesitate to cross the threshold into the world after death to search for Victor’s last sigh… But why can she see the dead? And will she be able to return to the world of the living?…
