“First published in German in 1804, under the nom de plume ‘Bonaventura’, The Nightwatches of Bonaventura is a dark, twisted, and comic novel, one part Poe and one part Beckett.”
An intriguing cover by Matt Avery alludes to the macabre and voyeuristic themes. The atypical Blackletter, Fakir Display, blurs into the shadows as seen through a window.
