Vermis II (Forsaken Edition)

Vermis II – Mist & Mirrors is the second book in the acclaimed Vermis series by Italian artist Plastiboo, published by Hollow Press. This edition continues the journey into a strange and haunting world first introduced in Vermis I, further expanding its cryptic mythology and surreal landscapes.

Presented as a LORE Game Book, Vermis II plays with the visual language of retro dungeon crawler video games, mimicking the style of an official strategy guide for a game that does not exist. The book is filled with unsettling illustrations, maps, diagrams, and fragments of lore that blur the line between visual storytelling, game design, and experimental narrative art. Each page invites the reader to piece together fragments of a forgotten mythos, where rules are implied but never fully revealed.

The subtitle Mist & Mirrors reflects the book’s thematic core: a shifting realm where identity, flesh, and reality dissolve. Readers encounter eerie locations, monstrous figures, and strange artifacts, all rendered in Plastiboo’s distinctive style that combines nostalgia for pixelated graphics with dark fantasy world-building.

The Forsaken Edition is a deluxe hardcover version of this cult art book, featuring:

• Large-format hardcover for an immersive reading experience
• 3D embossed and debossed front cover, with a deeply debossed back cover
• Dual-color tissue bookmark (black and green)
• Strictly limited to 2500 copies worldwide (3rd edition)

This unique collector’s edition is aimed at fans of experimental art books, underground fantasy worlds, and innovative approaches to publishing. It is both a physical artifact and an imagined portal into a game world that exists only on paper.
