Mia Cassany Knihy

Držíš v rukou knihu, která není děsivá. Nebo je. Je to přehled všech postav, mýtů, legend a vynálezů, které ti kdy naháněly hrůzu. Každý ví, kdo je Frankenstein nebo vlkodlak, Drákula či Fantom opery…, ale odkud se tu vlastně vzali? Kdo je vymyslel nebo proslavil? Inspirovala jejich vznikskutečná bytost, nebo nikdy neexistovali? A aby toho nebylo málo, v této knize se o těchto a dalších bytostech jako Minotaurus, Medúsa nebo Kraken dočteš mnoho dalších věcí, které tě donutí schovat hlavu pod polštář. Po přečtení této knihy si ještě spoustu let budeš pamatovat každou z ilustrací. Stále však máš čas tuto knihu odložit. Pak už bude příliš pozdě.
