Everyone else living in the corpse is forced out as well, leaving them to figure out how to survive in the woods. The protagonist Aurora is on a date with Prince Hector when they are suddenly expelled from their home, which happens to be the corpse of a young human girl. Although much of the plot revolves around Aurora, small segments of the story focus on side characters who serve to emphasize the contrast between the daunting situation at hand and the playful way characters interact. The story starts out with a whimsical tone but rapidly devolves into a morbid narrative. The novel tells the tale of Aurora, a sweet girl who finds herself taking a leadership role in the community of tiny people. In the story, people the size of fruit flies are expelled from their home and thrust outside into the woods. Beautiful Darkness ( French: Jolies Ténèbres) is a graphic novel illustrated by French illustrators Marie Pommepuy and Sébastien Cosset, whose names combine to form their pen name Kerascoët.
