The Tale of Brin and Bent and Minno Marylebone

Hannah Berry

Having been diagnosed with schizophrenia, Rob's world becomes a series of struggles, and extraordinary moments of insight, as he moves between the fictions, facts and altered realities of his illness. Based on a true story, 'HOAX Psychosis Blues' is an intensely moving and personal account of a young man's journey through recovery, relapse and ultimate release; told through the poems he wrote, in his own handwritten script, and brought to life by ten of the finest comics and graphic artists from around the world.

HOAX Psychosis Blues

Brin and Bent are poolkeepers at The House for the Grossly Infirm. Their days are spent abusing the House residents with bleach and chlorine, spying on them through holes they have drilled in the walls. They do not know that someone else comes to the pool at night: Minno Marylebone, a child like no other. Pure and beautiful, every night the child enters the water and becomes celestial, laughing and riding the currents as the pool turns into a sea. Then one night Brin and Bent find the wax that has spilled from Minno's candle and decide to lie in wait ... With this dark yet achingly beautiful tale, Ravi Thornton takes British graphic novels to a new level. The combination of her deft and masterful writing with the stunning artwork of Andy Hixon creates and an extraordinarily powerful and disturbing experience.
