Description
Book SynopsisSomewhere, in an isolated corner of Western Europe, Carl and Rita rent a house on stilts. Due to the pressures of spending so much time only in each other's company, cracks in their relationship start to appear. To relieve the pressure and secretly hoping to meet someone he can look up to who will take him on as an apprentice, Carl embarks on a search for the last remaining practitioner of an ancient local tradition. His quest brings him to a craftsman who is very different to the type of man he was hoping to find.
Trade Review“A psychological drama that seems simple but perhaps isn’t, It’s Cold in the River at Night is gripping and propulsive to its end—but even better, its final page instills an instant desire to go back and reread it. Potts is a master of ratcheting up the tension… at key moments he demonstrates a practiced sense of how to convey emotion effectively via atypical panel arrangements, and he knows when to allow a full page of art tell the story without text. His color palette and shading are subtle but effective.” - Foreword Reviews
