The Schmetterschwanz Manuscript

An Illustrated Companion To Yanko Tsvetkov's Best-selling Fairy Tale Series Apophenia, Credited To His Artistic Alter-ego Alphadesigner, The Schmetterschwanz Manuscript Is A Daring Experiment In Surrealist World Building In The Tradition Of Classic Masterpieces Like The Voynich Manuscript And Codex Seraphinianus. While Those Authors Rely On Asemic Writing Or Constructed Language To Inspire A Sense Of Mystery And Wonder In Their Readers, Alphadesigner Preemptively Reveals The Code Of His Manuscript's Elaborate Alphabet In The Very Beginning. Yet, What Is Supposed To Serve As A Key To Understanding Is In Fact A Trick Of Artistic Gaslighting.
