Description
Apsara Engine by Bishakh Som is a thought-provoking collection of eight eerie stories that subtly intervene into everyday reality. Painted in rich, sepia-toned watercolors, these comics delve into themes of fetishism, heartbreak, and the weight of twenty-first-century life. Som's debut work explores diverse futures and reimagines old mythologies, capturing the complexities of modern social realities and the unknown. The stories dance between genres and identities, moving from incisive descriptions to poetic ruminations on the future. Apsara Engine is a striking anthology that centers queer and trans South Asian narratives, offering a unique perspective on the world today.
