Charles Baudelaire is said to have died a childless man – but did he really? His lunar bloodline certainly appears eerily alive, close to two centuries on, in the singular spells cast by Zachary Cahill – the Francophile bard of unicorn desolation.

Zachary Cahill’s Unicorn Death Moon: Paris Guidebook provides a path for the perplexed through the city of blinding light. Throughout, Cahill’s rich work marshals the imaginative to ground his reader in what is dark, fantastic, surreal, and magical.

Zachary Cahill's Unicorn Death Moon: Paris Guidebook will get you lost, so pleasantly, dreamily lost that along the way as you're enjoying fantastic drawings such as The Pageantry of the Night Sky and The Queen Gathers Her Emissaries, you might not notice at first that you're contemplating not only the mythical, but Death.
This guidebook offers gentle whimsy, factual statements that may be fiction ("There are at least five secret societies in Paris that worship unicorns"), beautiful poetry, despair, Baudelaire's spleen, and happiness. And Paris as a sweeping background for the two close friends accompanying you through this guide and staying with you afterward: Unicorn and Death.
