SLG's August releases include Karl Christian Krumholtz's Goth-satire Byron and Andi Watson and Simon Gane's Audrey Hepburn-inspired 1950s boho saga, Paris in August.  Artist and writer Krumholtz admits an affinity for the dark-clad Goth subculture he skewers in Byron: Mad Bad and Dangerous ($10.95). 'I've done the club scene and I still own a complete set of Nick Cave and Bauhaus CDs,' he admitted.  'I've seen how certain people in the scene take themselves way to seriously and like to think of themselves as a dark shadow cut from an even darker swash of black velvet.' In Byron Krumholtz attempts to chronicle what would happen to such poseurs when they come face to face with real evil.

Andi Watson and Simon Gane's Paris in August ($10.95) also deals with a subculture, but in their case it's the bohemian world of struggling artists in Paris during the 1950s.  The chief protagonists of Watson's saga are Juliet, a penniless American art student, and Deborah, a wealthy debutante.  The women share a love for art and it brings them together in spite of the disapproval of friends and family (and the Hepburnesque Juliet's study of the great masters also provides a great excuse for Simon Gane to display his drawing chops by creating versions of works by such a master draughtsman as Ingres).
