"Jeffrey Alan Love's fables combine stunning, museum-worthy graphics with foreboding, magical narrative. He can elicit dread, wonder, and ecstasy in equal measure."
-Guillermo del Toro
"What is there to say? Jeffrey Alan Love is just plain brilliant."
-Mike Mignola
"Jeffrey Alan Love, writing as an endlessly fascinated amnesiac, fills his notebook with fragments of observation, pieces of behaviour, gods, strangeness and charm, in a desperate attempt to make sense of it all. To create a kind of personal tarot out of these icons and wastrels. And the strangest thing is I get the sense he's walking around his hometown of St. Louis, sketching from life - sitting on the pavement, smudging his raw materials, turning neighbors into spirits and dogs into demons. Jeffrey's haunted silhouetted world is a recent discovery for me, but like a great old battered European city, I want to excavate more and more of it."
-Dave McKean
"Love's strange imagery comes in like transmissions from an arid, alien landscape. The message is ancient, the script encoded, the picture is dusty and bold. Most highly recommended."
-Paul Pope
"A wonderfully strange and atmospheric journey."
-Joe Abercrombie
"Jeffrey Alan Love is the honest to God absolute Real Deal."
-Bill Sienkiewicz

"In “Notes From The Shadowed City”, Jeffrey Alan Love creates a delicate, dark, and beautifully illustrated tale.
