From our friends at Oni Press and wonderful writer/illustrator, Mariana Costa aka Mari Costa (Belle of The Ball, Life of Melody), comes a devilish new supernatural graphic novel, “The Demon of Beausoleil”.  A half-demon socialite-turned-exorcist and his disgruntled bodyguard have no trouble facing down the hordes of darkness—but facing their feelings for each other? Well now, that’s a whole different story in this epic queer romance.

Helianthes is a Cambion, a child born touched by demons. Horned, clawed, and tailed, and named ‘Hell’ for short, he’s a devil-may-care exorcist whose devil-may-care attitude has succeeded in alienating those closest to him – all save for his long-suffering bodyguard, Elias, who sees him as less a strange, mythical being and more just a . . . nuisance.

Together, the two venture into the streets of this pseudo-remix of Victorian London to exorcise demons (and maybe cause a little mischief on the way). But as Hell becomes increasingly drawn to his enigmatic bodyguard – and as Elias becomes increasingly aware of his feelings for his trouble of a charge – the two find themselves faced with a growing, chaotic dark that might threaten everything they’ve been working toward

Marina says “In a story ostensibly about exorcising demons, it’s important to remember that the nastiest, scariest, most vicious monster the human brain can conceive of pales in comparison to the cruelty humans themselves are capable of. Talk about man-made horrors, am I right? Gerald only isn’t the main bad guy of ‘The Demon of Beausoleil’, because waiting in the wings is an even shittier guy. Hope everyone’s excited to meet him.”
