HOURGLASS OGN (26 Mar Release)

A stunning coming-of-age graphic novel from cartoonist Barbara Mazzi¸ exploring the dystopian divide of class difference¸ the strength of human connection¸ and what truly makes the heart tick. The Hourglass is called many things: the perfect machine¸ the source of all life¸ the fountain of youth. It promises immortal comfort to the privileged¸ but it also looms over its creators¸ trapping them in its cycle. Martel knows that there are other¸ inexplicable things that give life meaning¸ way more valuable than her own immortality. She only feels alive in the stolen moments with Twenty¸ an assembly worker in the dangerous gears of the machine. Will the differences between their lives tear their relationship apart¸ or will the Hourglass shatter first? After all¸ a society built on rejecting these feelings is beyond fragile... it’s a ticking time bomb.
