Jonathan Walker and Dan Hallett - Five Wounds


This is Jonathan and Dan's second collaborative effort, the first being Pistols! Treason! Murder! Dan is again at the helm of the illustrations, and has helped to create what has been coined (and rightly so) 'an illuminated novel'.

1. He could feel the bruises spreading under his skin like spilled wine, and he knew that he was disfigured from the hits.

2. Apparently there were paintings.

3. Their sweat was confident and neutral. It had none of the acid of burnt muscle.

4. He knows that flesh doesn't last, so he doesn't waste time on anything not informed by the soul.

5. 'Who are you?'
'No one you know,' Cuckoo said.
'No. Body.'

6. She breathed heavily, in a parody of the desire he had felt for her.

7. Their will was cumulative.

8. I was filled with grief that made no sense to me.
