Magnetic Press has announced two forthcoming books: the art book Angelarium: Book of Emanations and the graphic novel A Glance Backward.

Angelarium: Book of Emanations is co-produced by fantasy artists Peter Mohrbacher and Eli Minaya.  The art book weaves a tale with illustration poetry, painting, and prose about the eleven angelic emanations that embody the Tree of Life.  The project is based on the apocryphal Old Testament chapter “The Book of Enoch,” which chronicles Enoch’s ascent to heaven and return while still alive.

 The 60-page hardcover has an MSRP of $24.99.  Release is planned for January.

A Glance Backward is a new graphic novel written by Pierre Paquet, with art by Eisner Award nominee Tony Sandoval (Doomboy). The story follows 11-year-old Joey, who is pulled inside the walls of his house. As he attempts to find a way out of the bizarre and surreal place, he meets a series of strange characters, who lead him on a journey of changing perspective, along the road to growing up.

The 92-page hardcover will feature a foreword by Skottie Young. MSRP is $19.99. Release is planned for December.
