Cursed with bad luck and trapped in a monotonous life, an
unfortunate young man named Zazil longs to escape from the drudgery of his
waking life and the troubled thoughts that haunt him. A good luck charm that
Zazil finds in a dusty curio shop proves to be his ticket away from the mundane,
but it brings him everything but good luck. When soul-stealing creatures called
Charnocks pursue Zazil through strange lands and ghost trains, he must use his
wits and courage to escape them - and finally face his past.
The 13th of Never is filled with detailed ink drawings
that ring of a modern Edward Gorey, and a storyline filled with dark
fantasy.
Crab Scrambly, the artist known to Slave Labor Graphics
readers from his paintings in the storybook Everything Can Be Beaten,
written by Chancre Scolex (sometimes known as Jhonen Vasquez), now has penned
and illustrated a storybook of his own, The 13th of Never. The 72-page
novella features more than 30 full-page black-and-white drawings by
Scrambly.
