"The night does not belong to us. She harbors her own mysteries." Nocturnos delves into the ethereal world of the night, when the mundane vibes of the day cede to a mysterious atmosphere in which anything seems possible. In the twilight hours, the darkness feels vast and untamable, the dead can intrude upon the land of the living, and the distance between imagination and reality seems closer than ever.

Haunting narration connects a series of vignettes that capture glimpses of people's lives as they navigate the nighttime. A traumatic collision while driving down a dimly lit road; a bedtime story that blurs the bounds of the imaginary, a walk through the woods that leads to strange symbols; this nighttime tour encompasses lush forests, dreamscapes, and the shadowy corners of private rooms. Along the way, these stories question the truths veiled in dreams, the nature of fear and loneliness, and the unknowable aura of the nocturnal world.

In Nocturnos, her most masterful work to date, Spanish comics artist Laura Pérez explores the magic and melancholy we encounter when dusk descends.
