Painter Thomas Tomczak’s This Isn’t Heaven wanders through New York’s most haunted corners—109 of them, to be exact—chasing demons both carved in stone and drawn from heartbreak. The book moves between image, sketch, and conversation, as Tomczak interviews psychoanalysts, occultists, and scholars to ask, simply, “So… demons?” The result is part visual exorcism, part love letter to the strange ways we make the invisible visible. Published by Mwa Books, This Isn’t Heaven feels like a field guide for anyone who’s ever tried to paint their way out of obsession.
