Tim Burton Knihy

Seznamte se s Jackem Skelingtonem, pánem Halloweenska! Po více než dvaceti letech vychází u nás legendární Můra noční, předvánoční od Tima Burtona. Jack, vládce bizarního království, se stará o Halloweenské oslavy, ale co dělat, když večer skončí? Když objeví Vánoční město, dostane nápad, jak zahnat nudu: letos ušetří Santovi práci. Může však něco dobrého vzejít z toho, když si kostlivý Jack natáhne červený oblek? Tato báseň, napsaná Burtonem kolem roku 1982, předchází filmu, který český divák zná jako Ukradené Vánoce. Film zachoval hlavní postavy, ale rozvinul zápletku a přidal nové prvky. Původní text téměř nezůstal, a tak vám kniha přináší nové, makabrózní písmenka, která ve filmu neznáte. Autor k původním ilustracím připojil další, což dává výsledné knize hravou, dravou a burtonovskou atmosféru. V době vzniku textu měl Ježíšek monopol na vánoční dárky a Halloween byl znám jen hrstce zasvěcených. Dnes už české děti pilně vydlabávají dýně a užívají si Halloween, zatímco obchody se vánocích plní Santou. Tento posun ve vnímání Vánoc a Dušiček připravil půdu pro tuto zábavnou knihu, která je navíc skvěle přeložená.

Detective Gage Hudson believes the bodies are linked to Craig. But the biggest shocks are yet to come. A psychopath has resumed his work, each death a prelude to his most cherished target.
