The Tallowmere Annual is a unique collection of words, sound, and ink paintings by musician and artist Keaton Henson. This special limited edition hardback, mixed-media book tells the fragmented story of a town that never existed---Tallowmere---seemingly empty, showing only outlines of living things, words once spoken, and the sounds of distant mourning. The first of its kind, the book's front cover holds an MP3 pack embedded with an audio jack for headphones and sound controls. Readers can plug in and listen to a recorded score created specially by Keaton as an accompaniment to reading the book and viewing the artwork. Visit welcometotallowmere.com for more information.

Accident Dancing is a book of poetry by artist and musician Keaton Henson, detailing his life in fragments, from the extreme to the mundane. Accompanied by evocative pencil illustrations, it is an intimate and unapologetically personal insight into this extremely emotive artist.&nbsp; "Accident Dancing is everything the way I remember it; i.e. fragmented, chaotic and often grammatically incorrect. I hope it feels authentically like a memory if nothing else. It was just something I needed to shake from my head." - Keaton Henson

Gloaming is a graphic novel by the artist/musician Keaton Henson. The book's concept is essentially a field guide to a spirit world beyond our reality. Its melancholic narrative shows spirits that are lost in the city, lonely and seeking escape. As a result they move to the countryside but find they are still lost, so consequently decide to leave the planet, which in turn is but another creature continually searching for something it cannot find. Keaton's inspiration is born from old Scandinavian folklore and Japanese Kwaidan (ghost stories) from the Edo period, to the more contemporary Miyasaki "Spirited Away" films. Often we can find Ukiyo-e prints depicting the ghosts of scorned wives returning from the dead; these female ghosts called Yurei have extraordinarily long black hair, a device used to symbolize death, as a woman would rarely be seen at that time with her hair down until she was buried.

Poetry. Music. Art. Combining whimsical illustrations with poems of love, humour and celebration of the ups and downs of being a touring recording artist, IDIOT VERSE is a delightful book in the tradition of Leonard Cohen and John Lennon. It's a singer-songwriter's notebook to himself, and the world, and sure to impress fans especially, of which Henson has many.
