Harlequin Valentine (Second Edition) Hardcover Book

Valentine's Day is a corporate fever dream, but Neil Gaiman understood the assignment long before anyone was complaining about it online. Harlequin Valentine takes the old commedia dell'arte archetypes, Harlequin, Columbine, the whole masked chaos of it, and drags them into something stranger and more human than a box of heart-shaped chocolates ever could be.

Originally illustrated by John Bolton, this second edition hardcover brings Gaiman's dark, wry meditation on obsession and love into a gorgeous redesigned package. It sits comfortably alongside his other short-form work, think The Price or Coraline in tone, intimate and unsettling in equal measure. Essential for the Gaiman shelf, or the shelf of anyone who thinks gothic romance should actually have some teeth.

Hardcover. Second edition with redesigned layout and artwork reproduction. A compact, gift-ready format.
