British comedy blended with universal regret, this darkly funny graphicnovel uses surreal and beautiful visions to explore the ways we remain hauntedby our ex-lovers. Valerie has a rich interior life. Serially unlucky inlove, to feel better she imagines that her previous boyfriends are dead and thattheir bodies are kept downstairs in the cellar in a strange, mummified state.Every day she brings them upstairs and speaks with them about what wentwrong. What follows is a series of peculiar and funny, and sometimesdisturbing short tales about inept lovers, weird obsessions, and sociallymalfunctioning men who repeatedly fail to build a relationship with poorValerie. Apart from Stanley. Stanley was special. Could he be theone to save her? The Three Rooms in Valerie's Head is a dark comedyabout relationships, memory, loneliness and obsession and is the firstcollaboration between ultra-short fiction writer David Gaffney and comic artistDan Berry.
