Tales from the Loop Hardcover – 9 April 2020

Simon Stålenhag creates such a fascinating, lived in world. The images are captivating & the story is engaging. This is probably my second favourite of his after Electric State.

Been following Simon on Twitter for a while, and loved every image he's uploaded there. He's highest on my list of names from whom I'd like to purchase an original canvas. Absolutely stunning, evocative imagery. Unfortunately, I was clearly late to appreciate his work and had no idea there were actual published books with stories to attach to the images, and not only that, but this has apparently already been adapted into a series that completely passed me by.Whilst I'm absolutely certain the TV show will never be able to evoke the same raw appreciation of the imagery as the original illustrations do, I'm sure I'll look it over at some point, but plan on poring over this for a while beforehand.Maybe one day I'll be able to afford an original canvas.

Simon Stålenhag is an amazing artist and writer, his world building is second to none and this book is a must have for any retro sci-fi fan.That artwork of the book is amazing and has such a unique style. The stories and text are equally as amazing with such an imaginative plot.The book itself is beautifully bound in hardback with the front image printed on a matte cover with the orange spine in a cloth material. The pages are printed on a nice and thick paper stock which make each page turn an experience in itself.

My son ADORES this book

This book sits behind the Amazon series of the same name, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It provides the context behind the series and individual episode storylines along with some really imaginative illustrations beautifully executed which do correlate directly with the imagery used in the Amazon series. I’m pleased with it and I got it for a fairly decent price which was a bonus.

Beautiful artbook of an alternative 80s. I adore this book so much, which also provides some lovely themes for the Tales from the Loop RPG as well. Just flicking through makes you think back to growing up in the 80s and day dreaming about adventures a la E.T., The Goonies, Explorers, and more recently Stranger Things and Super 8. The accompanying story by Stålenhag is so intriguing with its allusion to larger conspiracies and perils that never quite intrude directly into the narrators life but are instead experienced from a distance.

Sci fi story set in an alternate world with robots, weird science and broken technology.Amazing and high quality pictures. If you liked the tv series, the book is a must buy. Can be read in one sitting.

Loved the amazon produced TV series, so bought the book. The setting and documentary/journal style story telling that accompanied the artwork really added to the overall enjoyment of the book. Much like the tv series it left you wanting to know more about the stories and the individuals in them.
