Poor Pierrot is really not to be envied: a dark voodoo spell tricks him into believing that he is irresistible, but in truth his appearance is more than unattractive! His rendezvous reliably fizzles out, and Pierrot is left behind time and again as a helpless bachelor. The originator of the curse is none other than his own mother, the mysterious Yvette, mistress of the last house on the edge of the forest. She lives in this mansion with her husband, whom she has turned into a statue, a staff of homunculus servants, and the fearsome Demoiselles, her beloved carnivorous plants. On the occasion of a birthday party, the whole family comes together - alive and animated, organic as well as artificial, cursed or not. But then an unexpected gift in the form of the charming prostitute Mimi whirls the evening upside down... Such a gloriously absurd story can only come from Jean-Blaise Djian and the great Régis Loisel! Brilliantly chaotic, exuberantly fantastic and magical-realistic, 'The Last House on the Edge of the Forest' conjures up an inspired smile on its readers' faces.
