The Brothers Grimm's fairy tales are brought to life for a new
generation of readers in their original, uncut form by the modern
master of gothic horror, Gris Grimly. Grimm. The name alone is
enough to call to mind any number of the timeless fairy tales
collected by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm in the early nineteenth
century. These folktales have been told and retold in many forms
for over two centuries, and while the particular mix of fantasy,
adventure, and wonder that defined their seven-volume collection
has endured, the terror, violence, and darkness of the original
stories has often been lost in translation. Enter Gris Grimly, who
has faithfully reproduced the original text of a selection of tales
and adorned them with his own inimitable artwork. The result is a
Grimm collection unlike any other, set in a world that is
whimsically sinister, darkly vivid, and completely unforgettable.
An alphabet book with a story about two children and their pet
gazelle who head off, treasure map in hand, on an underground
journey into a place where monsters and pirates roam. Will they
find the treasure? Will they get out alive? Will the alphabet ever
be the same again?
A is for Always, that's where we embark . . .
Two children, treasure map in hand, and their pet gazelle sneak
past their father, out of their house, and into a world beneath the
city, where monsters and pirates roam.
Will they find the treasure? Will they make it out alive?
"Grimly enlivens the prose while retaining its power to both
frighten and engage sympathy for the monster-creator Victor
Frankenstein. This is a richly morose nightmare of a book, a primer
for young readers on the pleasures and dangers of decadent
languidness."-New York Times Book Review Gris Grimly's Frankenstein
is a twisted, fresh, and utterly original full-length, full-color
graphic-novel adaptation of Mary Shelley's original text, brought
to life by acclaimed illustrator Gris Grimly. The first fully
illustrated version to use the original 1818 text, this handsome
volume is destined to capture the imagination of those new to the
story as well as those who know it well. New York Times bestselling
illustrator Gris Grimly has long considered Frankenstein to be one
of his chief inspirations. From the bones and flesh of the
original, he has cut and stitched Mary Shelley's text to his own
artwork, creating something entirely new: a stunningly original
remix, both classic and contemporary, sinister and seductive,
heart-stopping and heartbreaking.
