Thistle Grimoire (Shared World) [9781990690334]

Overview

Here's a tightened-up version that keeps your voice but flows better and hits harder:



Containing no human language and resembling an ancient spellbook, this meditative text invites rumination on the mysterious, the bizarre, and the occult. Begun by GMB Chomichuk as a series of diversions between artistic projects and developed over years, the Thistle Grimoire explores the boundary between dangerous, unknowable alien forces and the humans who forge alchemies of defense against what they cannot comprehend.



Combining the aesthetic of Lovecraft with high fantasy, it ties into the Shared World series and deepens that sword-and-sorcery world's supernatural lore. Wordless yet telling a complete visual story through suggestion, the book truly feels like an alien object from another world. It depicts maps, monsters, and weapons—working as a fantastic companion to a D&D campaign while standing alone as a singular, engrossing graphic novel unlike any other.



It's a weird, wordless object: part alien encyclopedia, part visual saga of mutating heroes repelling an interdimensional invasion. Roleplaying gamers love it for the monsters, maps, and weapons. Comics readers get it instantly. Sword-and-sorcery and horror fans feel like they're holding Lovecraft's fabled Necronomicon.



And there are over 200 different covers—each book identical inside, but every copy singular and strange in its own right. Which one will choose you?
