🔺 THE SECOND SAFEST MOUNTAIN by Otava Heikkilä is now live on Kickstarter!
THE SECOND SAFEST MOUNTAIN is mature, hardback graphic novella about leaving the mountain dedicated to sacred women, and the repercussions of entering the world below. When Aru ventures into the land beneath the mountain, they are soon confronted with what it means to leave the safety of being holy and beloved. A queer, surrealist horror from the creator of Letters for Lucardo.
"Haunting, allegorical horror at its finest. Heikkilä's comics are a masterclass in pacing and suspense." - Mel Gillman, As the Crow Flies
"Through its powerfully unsettling atmosphere and deeply human characters, The Second Safest Mountain illuminates why Heikkilä is one of the most exciting working cartoonists of the moment." - Ariel Slamet Ries, Witchy
"The Second Safest Mountain is visceral, stunning and dreamlike. It grips me by the heart. Otava can say so much with one look, one glance, one cast shadow." - Jess Fink, Chester 5000

“I felt like I was looking into the future . . . and the future looked really messed up.” —Black Hole, Charles Burns
Touching on themes of companionship and alienation, sex and drugs, and coming-of-age in a world that is all too frightening, Charles Burns’s cult classic stands the test of time as one of the most “frighteningly brilliant” (The Boston Globe) graphic novels ever inked.
