If you received an invitation to attend a mysterious masked ball held by a secret organization of the rich and powerful, would you accept?
Meet the five candidates who do: the scientist, the singer, the chef, the attorney, and the financier. They crave power, love, money, respect, fame - that which eludes them. Their enigmatic host, known only as Pig King, craves something more basic: salvation for his kind.
But the Illuminati ball requires a sacrifice.
"This elegantly drawn book will attract fans of burlesque and dystopian visions alike" - Publishers Weekly
“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
“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
"will appeal to the fans of SciFi fiction" - Mystery Tribune
“The Illuminati Ball has a magnificent concept . . .”--New York Journal of Books
