Kickstarter for Simon Stålenhag's New Narrative Art Book "The Labyrinth" Launched Today

From the internationally acclaimed visual storyteller Simon Stålenhag, creator of Tales From the Loop and The Electric State, comes a unique vision of a dystopian future. His new narrative art book The Labyrinth was launched on Kickstarter today.

Simon Stålenhag's highly imaginative images and stories depicting illusive sci-fi phenomena in mundane, hyper-realistic landscapes have made him one of the most sought-after visual storytellers in the world. His first narrative art book, Tales From the Loop, was adapted into a tv-series on Amazon Prime earlier this year.

Now, Stålenhag turns his unique vision to a dystopic future in a new narrative artbook: The Labyrinth –launched today on Kickstarter by Free League Publishing and Skybound Entertainment.

About The Labyrinth

A world covered by ruins and ash, the remnants of an otherworldly phenomenon that has ravaged the earth’s atmosphere and forced the few survivors deep underground. Matt, Sigrid and Charlie leave the safe harbor of the enclave for an expedition into the wastelands of the surface world. During their journey they are forced to confront dark secrets from the time before civilization’s fall.

With the support of Backers all over the world, these amazing images will turn into a top-quality narrative artbook, truly doing justice to the extreme attention to detail and quality of Stålenhag's work. 

Just like the narrative art books Tales from the Loop, Things from the Flood and The Electric State, The Labyrinth will be a thick, oversized artbook of appriximately 150 pages with print, paper, and binding of the highest quality.

In the Kickstarter campaign, there will be two versions of the book – the Standard Edition and the Limited Edition. The Limited Edition, with an exclusive and beautifully embossed cloth cover, is unique for the Kickstarter and will never be printed again. The Kickstarter for the narrative art book is handled by Free League Publishing in collaboration with Skybound.
