Cursed Swords

Cursed Swords enters the nightmarish universe of Strange House (Joonas Ryynänen) through a sequence of 136 color illustrations. The book constructs a wordless narrative. It fuses macabre surrealism, dark fantasy, and gothic density into tightly composed scenes. The pacing is visual, built through repetition and escalation rather than text.

This Deluxe Slipcase edition is produced as a collector object. The 17 × 24 cm hardcover features cloth binding and is printed on premium 150 g Munken paper. The volume is housed in a slipcase with hot-stamped “metallic blood” details. Cursed Swords is limited to 499 copies, positioning it within rare artist publications and durable, archival production.

For readers interested in Strange House, dark fantasy illustration, and meticulous visual storytelling, this edition emphasizes materials as much as image content. It is designed for long-term keeping and careful handling.

About Strange House (Joonas Ryynänen)

Strange House is the working name of Finnish artist Joonas Ryynänen. His imagery draws on dark-fantasy illustration and macabre surrealism, often staged in gothic environments. The work favors dense composition and implied narrative. Cursed Swords concentrates that language into a single, cohesive art book.
