Welcome to "The Funnel", a mind-bending graphic novel that explores the blurred lines between reality and fantasy. This first book of a seven-part series follows the journey of two sisters named Salazar ("Sal") and Alela ("Al") Coffy living in the small town of Lieh, where nothing is quite as it seems. Set against the backdrop of a cicada-filled midsummer and a local county fair, the story delves into the psyche of its characters as they navigate the supernatural and the power of language to shape and obscure meaning.

Sal, the younger sister, spends her days idling with friends and tagging along with Amy Voces, a wise and beneficent mage who lives on the far side of town. Alela, on the other hand, spends her time hiding in the woods and seeking escapism through drugs. Both sisters are unaware of the mysteries that constantly surround them and the fact that their entire understanding of reality is about to change in the worst way imaginable.

Featuring bright, detailed, psychedelic art reminiscent of 1960's underground comics and arranged via innovative panel compositions that evoke a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere, The Funnel combines elements of fantasy, horror, and magical realism to explore themes of grief, identity, and the search for meaning in a nonsensical world. Fans of Sandman, Twin Peaks and Neon Genesis Evangelion will find themselves entranced by this visually striking and thought-provoking story.
