Praise for The Thousand Demon Tree
“In Notes From the Shadowed City, Jeffrey Alan Love presented the reader with a myriad of haunting moments, each contributing to the sense of an overarching history. With The Thousand Demon Tree, we experience one such moment—extrapolated and expanded to an epic scale—no less enigmatic but now with dynamic, cinematic scope. Love is an inky David Lean, no less!”
—Duncan Fegredo
“Jeffrey Alan Love is a genius of stark black-and-white and the power of silence. The Thousand Demon Tree is the best kind of epic—one with action, atmosphere, monsters, a world mythos and plenty of room for the reader to dream into it.” —Jeffrey Ford
“Once again Jeffrey Alan Love demonstrates his mastery and complete grip of the imagery of the quest. The cinematic sense of the extended journey and its loneliness is very witty and effective. I love the fact that the story is silent—a song without words.”
—John Harris
“Much has been said of Love’s art. It is by turns haunting and elegiac. His storytelling is masterful as well. The Thousand Demon Tree is more of an experience than a read: It’s dreamlike, yet gritty and profound. It’s also mournful, yet cyclical—a study of mortality in a limited palette, with stark yet archetypal figures moving with great purpose. Love’s work takes an honored place on my walls and on my shelf.”
—John Hornor Jacobs, author of The Incorruptibles and Southern Gods
“A graphic narrative in its purest form—strong images, visual rhythms, shapes, marks, a sense of motion close to animation—creating a timeless fable.”
—Dave McKean
“Who needs a thousand words when a picture can tell the same story? And Jeffrey’s pictures do that and more. This is another ambitious, beautiful and engrossing book that sweeps you up in its bold, inky world.”
“Wonder how sequential art would have looked if Ingmar Bergman had made comics instead of films? Jeffrey Alan Love’s The Thousand Demon Tree is the answer.”
—John Picacio
“Two quick takes regarding The Thousand Demon Tree: 1) Jeffrey Alan Love is one hell of a storyteller. He has created a rich, emotional, totally immersive epic composed completely of imagery. And 2) any serious student of design should be paying attention. I know I am!”
—Mark Schultz
“Jeffrey Alan Love’s The Thousand Demon Tree is absolutely stunning. It’s a wordless graphic novel. Each image, each page, each spread speaks volumes, from the faintest whisper to a deafening roar. It’s magical.
“I’ve been reading and re-reading it, and I cannot get enough. It’s one of those rare pieces of art that somehow feels like it has always been there, inside all of us, waiting to be experienced. It’s that primal, that universal.
“This is one for the ages.”
—Bill Sienkiewicz
“Jeffrey Alan Love’s The Thousand Demon Tree is breathtaking in its simplicity and power. Being immersed in the silent narrative is like taking part in the most vivid and disturbing of nightmares—but in a good way! A book that I’ll most certainly go back to again.”
—Thomas E. Sniegoski, New York Times best-selling author of The Fallen series and the Bone: Quest for the Spark trilogy
“The Thousand Demon Tree is incredible. What Jeffrey Alan Love has done with this book is to firmly cement himself as one of the most important artists making ominous and fantastical narrative work today.
Full of shadows and terror and razor-sharp edges, this gorgeous book will sweep people into its dark and paralyzing world.”
—Gerard Way

Notes From the Shadowed City is the travelogue of a young man who sets off on a journey to research magical swords. He finds himself stranded in a land he does not know and enters a city with no name over which looms an ominous floating citadel. As he seeks a way home, he fills his notebook with drawings and observations of his life in this strange place. It is full of masked swordsmen, cities that walk, ancient gods, swords made from petrified trees and dragons that move mountains. There’s also a mysterious woman who captures his heart.
From the imagination of award-winning artist Jeffrey Alan Love comes this illustrated tale of swords and magic, memory and loss, and the overwhelming desire to find a way home no matter the cost. His first book detailing this fantastic journey, Notes From the Shadowed City is told through small moments that create a larger narrative. Love employs his renowned artistry to create a heavily visual narrative boasting more than seventy illustrations, and every spread features his art along with handwritten text—a captivating journal entry that expands into a visual symphony. As you follow in the footsteps of this young man, you’ll be intrigued to seek out the Shadowed City.
Praise for Notes From the Shadowed City
"A wonderfully strange and atmospheric journey." — Joe Abercrombie
"Digs right down to the roots of fantasy, clears away everything unnecessary and comes up with something vivid and fresh." — Peter Higgins, author of The Wolfhound Century trilogy
"Jeffrey Alan Love, writing as an endlessly fascinated amnesiac, fills his notebook with fragments of observation, pieces of behaviour, gods, strangeness and charm, in a desperate attempt to make sense of it all. To create a kind of personal Tarot out of these icons and wastrels." — Dave McKean
"Jeffrey Alan Love's Notes From The Shadowed City, with its unique style of illustration and imagination, is a mythic tale with all the dread, beauty, and cryptic mystery of a dream." — Jeffrey Ford
"This book is pure joy, beautiful to look at, magical and funny. The balance between the writing and the images is perfect. Practically every page seeps with a mythic imagination, leaving us space to dream on our own. Wonderful!" — John Harris, artist
"What is there to say? Jeffrey Alan Love is just plain brilliant." — Mike Mignola
"Love's strange imagery comes in like transmissions from an arid, alien landscape. The message is ancient, the script encoded, the picture is dusty and bold. Most highly recommended." — Paul Pope
"Jeffrey Alan Love is the honest to God absolute Real Deal." — Bill Sienkiewicz
"Haunting, mysterious, and timeless, Notes from the Shadowed City takes us on a journey through the Stygian landscapes of our dreams and nightmares." — Brom
"Notes from the Shadowed City is a monolithic, playful, exquisite tour de force. Beautifully designed and constructed, it's a masterpiece of considered restraint." — Sean Phillips
"In Notes from the Shadowed City, Jeffrey Alan Love creates a delicate, dark, and beautifully illustrated tale. Conjuring medieval knights, winged riders, and magic swords, these modern day illuminations take the reader on a journey through a shadow-realm of moons and mysteries. A book full of gloom and wonder." — Gerard Way
