BONEME: How to Kiss a Monster

ADD TO WISHLIST >

"BONEME: How to Kiss a Monster" by the lovely late great Joy Rip is an experimental graphic novel that is more of an art book or artist’s book than a comic book.

Boneme is the name of our central character. And it tells the story of a poor joyless boy who is determined to experience something called happiness, especially romantic happiness, before he dies.

Unfortunately, it is not to be. Joy, the narrator of our story and Boneme's dream girl, dies at our poor desperate boy's own hands.

Is this picture book a cautionary tale about unrealistic hopes of happiness… unattainable dreams of joy? Or is it a nihilistic fairy tale?

“BONEME” is a tale for telling when there is nothing left to say… It is a tale for telling when tragedy is neither beautiful nor profound, only overwhelmingly painful and ugly.

It is a tale to be told when tragedy is utterly unredeemable.

There are people born unhappy every day… or are quickly made unhappy after birth. Boneme is just one. Their stories rarely get recorded or told. And... for good reason. No one wants to hear it. That is why this silent majority is so silent.

This story is meant for them and those who think they know someone like them. This story is meant for anyone who has no story... anyone wants to hear. Enjoy.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
