"Taxidermy and dystopian fairy tale costumes combine to create some truly creepy, and bizarrely touching, photographs. Set among desolate wasteland like landscapes we get some stunning and macabre results from this Belgian duo. With gold lined pages a nice addition, we get one beautifully grotesque coffee table book.-- ""FAD Magazine"""
