The Ballad of the Penguin of Death : Method 412 - Thryft
The Ballad of the Penguin of Death : Method 412 - Thryft

Surreal journey through life, death, and penguins.

If you're in the mood for a short read that's beautifully odd and thought-provoking, "The Ballad of the Penguin of Death: Method 412" might just hit the spot. Edward Monkton's unique blend of whimsy and dark humor could transport you to a world where the lines between the macabre and the comical are charmingly blurred. Plus, his hand-lettered illustrations are bound to leave a lasting impression.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
