Sugar & Other Stories

By Joy San. Published by Silver Sprocket. 

Hardcover, 160 pages, Colour and B&W, 2023. 

A devoted yet amoral creature ensures a girl's blood sugar stays up. A gory ritual creates a charming woman's perfect smile. A neglected and overworked wife is slowly subsumed by violent fantasies. In this collection of short horror comics, cartoonist Joy San masterfully explores the ways in which we contort and control ourselves, balancing the bloody and brutal with unexpected levity.
