Leftstar & the Strange Occurrence

ebook
1 of 1 copy available
1 of 1 copy available

A wildly imaginative fantasy graphic novel about the responsibilities of creation.

Leftstar can't seem to access the world they've been building. They also haven't slept in a long time. These things are almost certainly unrelated, and they should really go get the mail, anyway. But their trip to the post office is interrupted by a curious visitor: an enormous fruit bat. Whisked away in the bat's claws, Leftstar is taken on an adventure to unblock the path to their deserted creation. Between bites of pie and words of wisdom, can Leftstar remember the most crucial part of invention?

Find out in this chill and cozy story, potentially familiar to those who find themselves trapped outside of their own worlds.

      The responsibilities of world building can be harrowing, and Leftstar knows they are no exception. Incredibly sleep-deprived, Leftstar has been building something new but can't seem to access it as of late. A trip to grab the mail and clear their mind leads to the unlikely meeting of a massive fruit bat who scoops Leftstar up and takes them on a journey to solve their inaccessible world. Led by mild familiarity and tasty fruits and pie, Leftstar works with the bat to uncover the secrets of their sleepiness and world building struggles. An intriguing cast of magical folks guide the way, from another world builder with capybara conflicts to a grouchy, RPG-enjoying oracle. The characters are stylistically cute and simple, and the story is Ghibliesque in its unique fantastical elements and intermittently detailed backgrounds. Dialogue maintains a delightful silliness while effectively pushing the story forward in solving Leftstar's dilemma (and perhaps dilemmas of past worlds built). Fhilippe builds a cozy, oddly intriguing world worth venturing into.
