In this haunting graphic novel collection, memory, history, and everyday life take shape as eerie yet compelling tales. Multidisciplinary artist Fish Wang explores a breadth of themes, among them Taiwanese folk religion, the uneasy relationship between humans and gods, sharp critiques of the education system, historical trauma, and the psychological wounds we struggle to carry and heal.
Through a fluid and inventive style, Wang conjures figures that are at once playful, haunting, and unexpectedly sympathetic. His restrained, shadowed tones evoke a dreamlike world of uncertainty, punctuated by sudden bursts of color that suggest resilience and hope. The subtle layering of watercolor creates a meditative cadence, inviting the reader to linger.
Atmospheric and resonant, The Night’s Events merges the surreal with social critique, emerging as a striking and unforgettable work of imagination.
