I Was Someone Dead

    (Oni, 2005)
™ and © Jamie S. Rich

Hieronymous Zoo has found a way to escape the harsh and uncaring world. All it takes is your own island. Add a dog for companionship, a sandy beach to sleep on, and regular delivery of books and the other necessities of life, and you have a veritable paradise. Except for the Thing that floats in the ocean, taunting him and making him doubt his own sanity. The Thing may be the least of his worries, though, when an unexpected stowaway arrives with his latest shipment of books. An illustrated novel, I Was Someone Dead creates the world of Hieronymous Zoo with lyrical language.
