British comedy blended with universal regret, this darkly funny graphic
novel uses surreal and beautiful visions to explore the ways we remain haunted
by our ex-lovers.
Valerie has a rich interior life. Serially unlucky in
love, to feel better she imagines that her previous boyfriends are dead and that
their bodies are kept downstairs in the cellar in a strange, mummified state.
Every day she brings them upstairs and speaks with them about what went
wrong.
What follows is a series of peculiar and funny, and sometimes
disturbing short tales about inept lovers, weird obsessions, and socially
malfunctioning men who repeatedly fail to build a relationship with poor
Valerie.
Apart from Stanley. Stanley was special.
Could he be the
one to save her?
The Three Rooms in Valerie's Head is a dark comedy
about relationships, memory, loneliness and obsession and is the first
collaboration between ultra-short fiction writer David Gaffney and comic artist
Dan Berry.
