Anyone wondering what Sophie Goldstein has been working on here in Pittsburgh since the release of her award winning graphic novel, The Oven need wonder no more: House of Women is the answer! This carefully crafted and lushly designed hardcover is a genre mash-up, mixing gothic romance with anthropological science fiction, all delineated with borderline obsessive care in a manner that evokes Kuniyoshi and P. Craig Russell via Linda Medley and Eleanor Davis (and GIlbert Hernandez) for a definitively female-centric otherworldly fantasy.
