New releases for the weekend include two notable titles that delve into dystopian themes and horror.
Gliff: A Dystopian Tale
Gliff follows siblings Briar and Rose in a near-future society that mirrors contemporary issues. In this world, technology dominates daily life, with children wearing smartwatches that track their interactions. The narrative highlights the plight of ‚unverifiables,‘ individuals who reject mainstream technology and live on the outskirts of society.
If captured, these individuals face forced ‚reeducation‘ and harsh work assignments. The story explores themes of identity and resistance, as the children navigate their oppressive environment. The dynamic between the siblings is central to the narrative, culminating in a poignant encounter that shapes their journey.
Creepshow in Love #1
In time for Valentine’s Day, Creepshow in Love #1 offers a horror twist on romance. This issue features three stories, each blending love and terror. The first two tales, ‚Madness of Two‘ and ‚Cursed Casanova,‘ explore the dark side of love through a serial killer’s quest for the perfect match and a disastrous love potion. The third story, ‚Penguin Avenger,‘ promises unexpected surprises.
Both titles provide unique perspectives on their respective genres, making them worthy additions to any reading list.
