Les Contes du boudoir hanté #2

The second volume of Yishan Li's Les Contes du Boudoir Hanté arrives from Delcourt with a cover that perfectly captures its haunting atmosphere — a pale, dark-haired woman in flowing white robes picks her way through moonlit rubble, a willow tree trailing overhead and an ornate painted panel resting among the ruins nearby. There's something both melancholy and quietly beautiful about the scene, balancing delicacy with an unmistakable sense of the uncanny. If the 2008 first volume drew you in, this continuation looks every bit as ethereal.
