Out of Hollow Water is an exercise in the fantastical and intensely personal, plumbing hidden depths both real and imagined. "...a shadow smeared dream-cycle rife with haunting symbolism..." -- The AV Club "An unsettling and haunting debut."-- Publishers Weekly "Smart, chilling, viscerally disturbing, but never showy or cruel." -- Julia Gfrorer, author of Black is the Color and Laid Waste Out of Hollow Water, the debut book by Anna Bongiovanni, is an exercise in the fantastical and intensely personal, plumbing hidden depths both real and imagined. It is a work that wanders into the dark recesses of the female experience, where the only escape is through cathartic release, taking myriad forms. Anna Bongiovanni is a cartoonist who spends most of their time drawing comics about two best friends on Autostraddle.com, a queer lifestyle website. Their comics tend to center around queer themes, ideas, and characters and can be either silly, educational, or honest and emotional, sometimes all at once.
