The Black Kraken

Each Black Kraken Ghost is unique and again hand illustrated by Mrs Humphreys. Black with fine sgraffito white lines, boxed in black boxes with a signed edition card. Edition of 102 Ghosts subdivided into 3 sorts - Vanguard ( The advance ) Coup de Main ( the attack ) Coup de Grace ( the final blow ) . Within each sort all Ghosts are unique and the drawings will differ, you will be allocated a Ghost at random from the sort that you choose.

The Kraken project began early in 2020 and has resulted in an edition of 55 hand drawn phantom style ghosts illustrated in the style of early Victorian engravings and etchings which were releases in August 2020. Ghost Merchant and illustrator Mrs Humphreys worked slowly to build the edition over the year and created 55 unique hand drawn Ghosts. They were coloured in shades of bone white, some slightly yellow others more chalky, the Kraken illustrations are executed in fine black permanent ink. This Black Box edition has become one of the most talked about and highly prized of all Black Box Ghosts.
