The Hazards of Love Book Two: As Above, So Below

“This story is wildly fantastical, celebratory of diverse gender expression, righteously vengeful, and plentifully dark and twisty.” * Booklist *
“At the end of the first volume of this series, Amparo got stuck in the vibrant and weird Bright World. As this volume begins, Iolanthe starts her journey to rescue him by speaking to the ghost of Amparo’s abuela, who tells her that Amparo is in the house of the Deer Man. Iolanthe must decide if she has what it takes to move between worlds to find him. This book features a very large cast of characters presented in a series of vignettes. Each one has a lot going on in their individual stories, but also play a role in the overall narrative. Fans of the series will delight in the continuing saga, but newcomers will definitely want to go back and read volume one. ­VERDICT Give to fans of Heartstopper who are looking for a fantasy and ­paranormal twist.” * School Library Journal *

“A noir fantasy—part adventure, part love story, all the way spectacularly creepy.” * Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review *
“This rich, fantastical story is brought to life with Stanley’s vibrant colors and wonderfully bold lines in artwork that is a joy to look at. The cruelty of Bright World will keep readers fully invested in Fawn’s struggle to survive and retain their identity, and the specifics of their nonbinary gender identity, a topic of conversation among several characters, are handled with respect and fidelity.” * Booklist, Starred Review *
“This fantastical, stunning tale shines in both story and artwork.” * School Library Journal

Stan Stanley makes comics that are sometimes creepy, sometimes funny, but always queer. She’s been making comics since she was in high school and has continued doing so throughout various science-related careers when she was supposed to be doing science. Instead, she created Friendly Hostility, The Hazards of Love, and her online journal comic, Stananigans. The Hazards of Love is heavily influenced by the ephemera of the Mexico in which Stan grew up, though she now finds herself in NYC among a lovely crew of weirdos. She lives with her spouse, a large cat, and a larger collection of bones.
