Night blind is a picture book based on a short story by Sigurbjörn Bjarnason.
The book differs from other picture books in that it is not designed for children like the vast majority of picture books. The book's target group is adult readers and takes its content and design into account.
Night blind is a tragic comedy The story follows Gísla, a gay vampire with social anxiety, and his fatal decision to turn Hallmann, a cancer-stricken man into a vampire.

Through this project, I wish to prove that the picture book format as a medium is not only meant for children; it is the topic of the book that should determine who the readership will be, not the format.
