We are pleased to say that Barrel of Monkeys by French duo Florent Ruppert and Jérôme Mulot is finally in-stock at The Beguiling.
Both hilarious and biting, this book is exciting cartooning in action. Phenakistoscopes, stereographs, and some of the most playful panel layouts you’ve read in ages, Barrel of Monkeys makes you un-pack and re-wrap your own baggage of what comics are supposed to look like (let along how to read them). Follow these friends as they irreverently explore the depths of sex and death, the only two things really worth writing about anyways.
An impressive debut by new publisher Rebus Books, Barrel of Monkeys is also Beguiling-Approved because the principle translator is none other than our very own Peter Birkemoe! With a Toronto connection like that, how can you not come and check this book out!

Three really unique items arrived at the store today. First up a pair of items from Aaron Cometbus — Cometbus #55 and Radon, from the 45 RPM series.
Cometbus #55, the newest issue in the long-running punk zine, features nearly 70 pages of writing from Cometbus on a variety of topics This issue of Cometbus also features a wonderful cover by Jordon Crane.
Radon, features two essays about influential punk band of the same name (Travis Fristoe writes the second essay). They go great as a pair, since they were written around the same time and feature similarities that play off each other well. If you have a passing interest in the California punk scene there are complete no-brainers at $3 and $4, respectively.
And last but not least, we have Psycho Shit Fuck by Jose G. Angeles. No, you didn’t misread that. If you have a dark sense of humour, Psycho Shit Fuck might be the book you’ve been waiting for your whole life. It collects three of Angeles other books and includes a ton of extra or previously-unseen material. It’s 250 pages soaked in every bodily fluid scientists have been able to catalouge, and maybe a few they haven’t or will never discover. It’s availialbe on either floor for $20.
