By Box Mugabe. Self Published. 

Softcover, 200 pages, B&W, 2025. 

This is a dark surreal tale of three childhood friends struggling to navigate a world of spiritual malevolence, ancient weirdness and violent reality. In a small rural town overshadowed by a sprawling woodland, a turbulent history and a shroud of ancient myths, three curious kids embark upon a quest for something greater than their world of nightmares and deranged owners. 

An expedition into the Scornwood sets off a chain of events that changes them forever, eroding any remnants of carefree youth as they are thrust into the brutal tutelage of an ominous religious order. Continually exposed to a contradictory world of dubious authority, they are ultimately left with no option but to go on the offensive against the hostile forces that seek to dismantle their lives.

Scornwood is a turbulent mix of parochial horror, unerring loyalty, harsh reality and bizarre surrealism, and its sensibilities, style and themes make it a very characteristically Irish graphic novel.
