The Old Barny. Or november

 The story is set in a small Estonian village in November. It is probably the 18th century. Village people spend their days stealing stuff from the rich foreign nobles and each other. They do it by using their subterfuge wits and by creating magical servants Kratt from old useless houseware. To give a soul to Kratt, people make a deal with Devil, who in turn demands the soul of the new master after his death. The limited colour palette of black, white, grey, light blue with the occasional splash of red captures the atmosphere of the novel and its horror fantasy world setting. 
Kirjastus Krattwerk graphic novel adaptation(1. book 144 pg 2021 and 2. book  160 pg 2022) of the original Estonian language novel by Andrus Kivirähk "Rehepapp ehk november" (The Old Barnkeeper or November) (2000)

THE DEAD MOUNTAINEERS HOTEL

Graphic novel, based on the 1970 novel Dead Mountaineer's Hotel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky and Tallinnfilm movie from 1979. 

Inspector Glebsky arrives at the hotel "Dead Mountaineer's" because of an anonymous call. This hotel is located in a remote area in a valley, hidden among the mountains in some European country. The very name of the hotel - "Dead Mountaineer's" can be explained quite simply: one climber died here who fell off a cliff. He left only his faithful dog behind - a St. Bernard called Lel. In the hotel there is a rather bleak portrait of the climber near which faithful Lel likes to sleep.

Almost all of the lodgers are rather strange, especially Mr. and Mrs. Moses and Olaf Andvarafors. Later another strange individual materializes; Luarvik, who can not even utter a couple of words. Mr. Moses and Luarvik turn out to be aliens and Mrs. Moses and Olaf are their robots, although they look like ordinary people. And in the mountains they suffer a calamity.
