{"product_id":"jessica-farm","title":"Jessica Farm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA career-spanning comics project 24 years in the making, Josh Simmons creates a deeply personal fantasy drama infused with psychological horror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike a Lynchian take on Alice in Wonderland, Jessica Farm opens with an exterior of what could be any Midwestern farmhouse. Once inside, we track our titular heroine (she is a person, not a place) as she bounds out of bed on Christmas morning and goes about her routine, eventually breakfasting with her grandparents. The banality of the situation is subverted by a ratcheting sense of dread as we discover that Jessica’s increasingly nightmarish house ― where the inside seems bigger than the outside, like Snoopy’s doghouse ― is filled with creatures around every corner: some whimsical, some sexual, some despairing, and some malevolent. Most terrifying of all is Jessica’s father. Will she even get to open the presents under the Christmas tree?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking place over a single Christmas Day, Jessica Farm is a career-spanning comics project in which Simmons has been drawing one page every month for the past 24 years, starting in January 2000. This is a horror-fantasy-psychodrama that will appeal to fans of Charles Burns, David Cronenberg, and Dario Argento.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack-and-white illustrations throughout\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glorp Gum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46449703846055,"sku":"9781683969938","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/0926\/files\/9781683969938.jpg?v=1736190767","url":"https:\/\/glorpgum.com\/products\/jessica-farm","provider":"Glorp Gum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
