About the Book
Vermis II – Mist & Mirrors is the second book in the acclaimed Vermis series by Italian artist Plastiboo, published by Hollow Press. Presented as a LORE Game Book, it expands on the dark, mysterious world introduced in the first volume. Inspired by old-school dungeon crawler video games, this unique art book takes the form of an official game guide for a non-existent game, offering cryptic illustrations, maps, and fragments of lore that blur the line between gaming and visual storytelling.
With its unsettling imagery and enigmatic texts, Vermis II invites readers into a haunting fantasy universe of mist and mirrors, where identity, flesh, and reality dissolve.
Stitched-bound, full-color printing in a weird, compact pocket format, this fourth printing continues Hollow Press's tradition of experimental, underground publishing.
