Beskrivelse
A beautifully illustrated book of ghost stories, written and illustrated by film artist and screenwriter Iain McCaig, depicting daily life in Smalltown, where Lake Wobegon meets Norman Rockwell, with monsters. Smalltown is a special place, and these 14 illustrated short stories are introductions to the people and creatures who live there. There are the ghosts Frightwood and Po, who we discover on a petrified park bench floating on a rock through space. A girl called Ellie who moves into a house that steals things, including her mom. There's a werewolf love story, and tales of vampires and demons, sirens and sea monsters--and the last man on earth. These spooky narratives culminate in a glimpse of "The First War of the Worlds," in which Martian tripods land on Earth 65 billion years before the events in H. G. Wells's novel, and attempt to conquer a world full of dinosaurs. Written and illustrated by renowned American artist, author and film maker Iain McCaig, creator of the iconic designs for Darth Maul and Queen Amidala for the Star Wars franchise, and who has worked on many successful films. such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, this a beguiling, quirky collection that will delight and captivate.
