Today I bring you another sneak peak at some of the artwork in my upcoming book, The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Today we take a look at the Hyousube!

Hyousube detail 2

As you may remember from my last hyousube post way back a couple years ago, they are huge eggplant enthusiasts. They are also extremely violent and nasty! If you should happen to catch a hyousube picking at your eggplant patch, look away and pretend you didn’t see anything — if the hyousube catches you spying on him, he will curse you with a deadly illness that turns your whole body purple and kills you the following day. (And really, you should have properly made a sacrifice of eggplants to the hyousube instead of forcing them to come all the way from the river to your patch just to get a meal!)
