Goths Cage is a series of visually arresting manga-inspired picture books that offer three eerie stories with a dark twist on love and romance. It takes inspiration from the KADAN art series, Phantoms, created by Yasushi Suzuki, which was previously released in Japan. The illustrator has adapted his own artwork to create a spellbinding book, featuring astonishing illustrations that transport readers to a world of gothic grandeur.
Glass Magic is the opening tale in the collection, and it warps the traditional Cinderella story into something wicked. A servant girl wishes to become a princess, and after being given a magic potion by an evil witch, she metamorphoses into a magnificent yet cruel glass princess. In another captivating tale, the guardian of a mysterious salon aids a tormented woman by snipping away her painful memories, reducing her to an empty shell of a person.
Yasushi Suzuki's Goths Cage is the perfect book to indulge in this autumn. With its enchanting illustrations and twisted tales, this mesmerizing work is essential for aficionados of the macabre.
