Winter in Milan with a bunch of apartment neighbors who start interacting with each other in the third act. I love the characters' illustration. I'm not clear on why a giant rabbit lives in the basement... or rather, sure, ok fine a giant rabbit lives in the basement, but why is it a giant rabbit from indigenous American folklore in a basement in northern Italy?

An invisible white rabbit is haunting an apartment building in Italy, keeping track of the tenants, the events in their lives, and their dreams, and giving a report every night to his boss, an amorphous dark object living in the basement. The artwork is great, except I had trouble telling some of the characters apart.

Told from the perspective of a supernatural, anthropomorphic rabbit (which is pretty Donnie Darko, now that I think of it) who follows the lives of people living in different units of the same apartment building. The character's stories capture the mundane and the sublime in a way that feels very humanistic. Even though this graphic novel didn't blow me away, it was a sweet yet shadowy story I've continued to think about.

Interiorae is an intriguing tale, bridging the physical and spiritual worlds while leaving plenty of unanswered questions, but bringing things to a satisfying resolution nonetheless. Gabriella Giandelli has a densely beautiful approach to her lines, and the widespread use of dark spaces does not detract from the quality of her images, but rather serves to highlight the important but elusive elements of her fable of dreams and their impact on the lives of the dreamers. Overall, Interiorae is a great example of how much comics art can achieve if creators are willing to stretch beyond the obvious.

I'm not quite sure I could explain what happened in this comic to someone if they asked me "What's that about?" but good grief, it's pretty.

I am so confused. This book seemingly had no purpose. We follow this ghostly white rabbit and what I can only describe as a giant supernatural bean, who feeds on people’s dreams. I’m literally at a loss for words. What on earth did I just read?

After a very flattering introduction, I was expecting to get immersed in a wonderful world of fascinating characters and engaging stories. I was disappointed. A week later, I can barely remember a thing about the book.

She draws very nicely, and the feel/pacing was good. But not my kind of story at all.
