The Strange Tale of Panorama Island

About

A failed novelist discovers that he bears an uncanny resemblance to the recently deceased son of a wealthy industrialist. He fakes his own death, digs up the corpse, takes the dead man's place — and uses the stolen fortune to transform a private island into a paradise of his most extravagant artistic fantasies. The deception can't last. The art outlives it. Suehiro Maruo adapts Edogawa Rampo's classic story into a visual fever dream — lush, grotesque, and beautiful in the way that only things built on lies can be. A manga about the lengths a failed artist will go to make the world match his imagination — and the inevitable moment when reality reasserts itself.
