The Illuminati Ball Summary

The Illuminati Ball by Cynthia Von Buhler

Cynthia von Buhler, acclaimed author and visual artist of Minky Woodcock, brings her immersive theater production The Illuminati Ball to Graphic Novel form. Acclaimed author and visual artist Cynthia von Buhler (Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini) brings her hit immersive theater production The Illuminati Ball to the page in an all-new graphic novel which merges the myth and mystery surrounding the secret organization of the rich and powerful who supposedly control the world with a story about human-animal hybrids who have escaped an experimental lab. Inspired by the legendary 1972 surrealist masquerade party that influenced Stanley Kubrick's film Eyes Wide Shut -- hosted by the Baron and Baroness de Rothschild at their mansion in Paris -- The Illuminati Ball combines elements of the fantastical with reality to tell an unforgettable story about power, cruelty, deceit, betrayal, and the insatiable hunger for freedom.

The Illuminati Ball Reviews

Praise for The Illuminati Ball:

This elegantly drawn book will attract fans of burlesque and dystopian visions alike - Publishers Weekly

Sinister and provocative ... the sexy stuff of nightmares - Inverse

an inherently fascinating and thought-provoking graphic novel-- one that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after it has been finished. - Midwest Book Review

von Buhler's writing and illustrations are wonderful and entirely engrossing, inspiring and illuminating - Roachies Reviews

[Von Buhler's] highly imaginative images match the strangeness of the story and will remain with you long after you close the book ... A story that will appeal to readers of fantasy fiction but has a wider significance - NB Magazine

Plunges readers into a hypnotic and disturbing world that, when the ostentatious layers are peeled away, reflects our own - Women Write About Comics

Combining wonderfully inventive fantasy with historical and scientific fact, Von Buhler's story reads like a twenty first century, psychedelic version of The Island of Doctor Moreau ... [this] gorgeously illustrated tale is both a stark warning of our own failures and a fascinating examination of what we, that is humanity, could become if we wanted to - Mass Movement

Brims over with horror largess and images of nightmares - Geekorama

Brings together mystery, conspiracy and the human condition in one magical story ... no doubt, The Illuminati Ball is one of the best books of the year - The Daily Fandom
