A refined combination of Junji Ito’s disturbing yet intricate art style and H. P. Lovecraft’s eerie stories.

Rest in Pieces uses grotesque imagery paired with Karmaket’s own dark-humoured, poetic narrative style to tell stories of human relationships and haunting loneliness. A complete collection of short stories over the years: “Apparitions of the Universe”, “Phantom Limb”, “Housing for Rent”, “Mosquito Man”, “King of Salt Lake”, “The Anatomy of Love”, “Deep Diving”, “Stay with You”, “Rest in Pieces”, “Blood Red Bullion”, “Somewhere on Fire”.

Karmaket is a Taiwanese graphic creator and comic artist. He worked as a storyboard artist, assistant director and was involved in the making of post-production animation and promotional materials. He is now a freelance artist and manga artist.
