This fall, succumb to the mystery of nature in Trumpets of Death, a stunning and contemplative exploration of intergenerational conflict and humanity’s broken bond with nature by artist Simon Bournel-Bosson. The debut graphic novel by Bournel-Bosson will be published on August 5, 2025 from Graphic Universe, an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group.

One rainy night, Antoine gets dropped off at his grandparents’ remote house in the middle of the woods. While his absent father searches for his mysteriously missing mother, Antoine is stuck between a doting grandmother and a grandfather openly hostile to his presence, and time crawls by while he waits to hear from his parents. But when Antoine ventures out with his grandfather to forage for mushrooms, the wrong mushroom leads to a stunning transformation for Antoine. The family’s intergenerational conflict, coupled with the mysterious forces of nature, culminate in a fearsome hunt through the forest that will resolve their differences once and for all — but at what cost?
