Emily Carroll Knihy

Přišlo to z lesa. Vše podivné přichází z lesa. Pětice tajemných, mrazivých příběhů vás zavede do hlubin děsu (a možná i vyvede zpátky?). Jejich nejednoznačnost dává prostor fantasii a donutí Vás s mrazením v zádech o nich dlouze přemýšlet. A pokud se při jejich čtení nedokážete zbavit neodbytného pocitu, že Vám to všechno cosi připomíná, pak vězte, že Temnými hvozdy by mohlo mít s klidem podtitul Kytice II. Vydejte se na cestu temnými hvozdy a objevte, co v nich číhá NA VÁS.

A contemporary gothic horror and comics classic, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Joe Hill, Stranger Things and The Haunting of Hill House

“This graphic novel deserves to just be savored as an old story yanked into modernity and told with aplomb.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)Most children think twice before braving a haunted wood filled with terrifying beasties to match wits with a witch, but not Masha. Her beloved grandma taught her many things: that stories are useful, that magic is fickle, and that nothing is too difficult or too dirty to clean. The fearsome witch of folklore needs an assistant, and Masha needs an adventure. She may be clever enough to enter Baba Yaga's house on chicken legs, but within its walls, deceit is the rule. To earn her place, Masha must pass a series of tests, outfox a territorial bear, and make dinner for her host. No easy task, with children on the menu! Wry, spooky and poignant, Marika McCoola's debut--with richly layered art by acclaimed graphic artist Emily Carroll--is a storytelling feat and a visual fest.

Was it revulsion I felt? . Like many before her - none of whom have returned - she's determined to snuff out the horrors within. But could she ever be prepared for what hides within its turrets; . . Emily Carroll's hair-raising tale, charged with eroticism, won't just make your skin crawl - it will crawl underneath it.
