## Description

The publisher's description:

> As a child, Brian and his friend Jimmy would make sci-fi films in their
yards, convincing their friends to star as victims of grisly murders, smearing
lipstick on the “bodies” to simulate blood. Now a talented artist and aspiring
filmmaker, Brian, along with Jimmy, Jimmy’s friend Tina, and Laurie—his
reluctant muse—sets off to a remote cabin in the woods with an old 8
millimeter camera to make a true sci-fi horror movie, an homage to Brian’s
favorite movie: _Invasion of the Body Snatchers_. But as Brian’s affections
for Laurie go seemingly un-reciprocated, Brian writes and draws himself into a
fantasy where she is the girl of his dreams, his damsel in distress, and his
savior wrapped into one. Rife with references to classic sci-fi and horror
movies and filled with panels of stunning depictions of nature, film and the
surreal, Burns blurs the line between Brian’s dreams and reality, imagination
and perception.
