The Night Eater

by Ana Juan

One Potato Review

Like Dan Yaccarino’s Good Night, Mr. Night, here’s a big guy who reports to the office just when you’re checking out, then the sun gets all the glory in the morning. This legend has an eating problem though – stars and bitter dark chocolate darkness mostly – but the magic here comes from the pictures, which are richer, thicker and more hallucinatory than their representation on the cover, and the product of a singular vision.
