Next spring, Oni Press is publishing the second installment of Brenna Thummler‘s bestselling Sheets trilogy as a brand-new deluxe hardcover collector’s edition. Delicates: Collector’s Edition will feature never-before-seen content, including new cover art, fan art, photography and darkroom notes, character designs, storyboards, easter eggs, and fun facts from Thummler herself. Following the events of Sheets, Brenna Thummler’s Delicates is a powerful story about what it means to fit in and those who are left on the outside. It shows what it’s like to feel invisible, and the importance of feeling seen. Above all, it is a story of asking for help when all seems dark, and bringing light to those who need it most.
Marjorie Glatt’s life hasn’t been the same ever since she discovered a ghost hiding in her family’s laundromat. Wendell, who died young and now must wander the earth with nothing more than a sheet for a body, soon became one of Marjorie’s only friends. But when Marjorie finally gets accepted by the popular kids at school, she worries that if they learn about her secret ghost friend, she’ll be labeled as a “freak who sees dead people.” With Marjorie’s insistence on keeping Wendell a secret from her new friends, he begins to feel even more invisible than he already is.
Eliza Duncan feels invisible, too. She’s an avid photographer, and her zealous interest in finding and photographing ghosts gets her labeled as “different” by all the other kids in school. Constantly on the outside, Eliza begins to feel like a ghost herself. It’s not long before Marjorie must confront the price she pays to be accepted by the popular kids. Is it worth losing her friend, Wendell? Is she partially to blame for the bullying Eliza endures?
Delicates: Collector’s Edition will be available at retailers everywhere on March 12, 2024.
