The book is a graphic novel which tells the tale of a giant crayfish which rampages through the City of London. The design nods to the work of Lyubov Popova, a Communist Soviet artist, and reflects the anti-capitalist stance within the book. The bold colours are those chosen by the artist/publisher.
