Kerascoët

BEST OF THE YEAR NODS FROM AMAZON.COM AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY! "Kerascoët... render Aurora and her friends in the huge-eyed style of classic children's book illustrations, but cuteness is just another Darwinian survival strategy here. Even on her clover-high scale, as Aurora discovers, romance is decided by social pecking order and murderous deceit."--Douglas Wolk, New York Times Kerascoët's and Fabien Vehlmann's unsettling and gorgeous anti-fairy tale is a searing condemnation of our vast capacity for evil writ tiny. Join princess Aurora and her friends as they journey to civilization's heart of darkness in a bleak allegory about surviving the human experience. The sweet faces and bright leaves of Kerascoët's delicate watercolors serve to highlight the evil that dwells beneath Vehlmann's story as pettiness, greed, and jealousy take over. Beautiful Darkness is a harrowing look behind the routine politeness and meaningless kindness of civilized society.

Beautiful Darkness

Five years ago, little Gwenny’s father found, inside a bottle, a map with instructions on how to reach the mysterious Isle of 100,000 Graves and its legendary treasures ― and then he vanished. Now Gwenny, having stumbled across another bottle-shipped map, enlists the dubious help of a shipful of pirates, sets out to find the island, and her long-lost dad. Little does she realize that the Isle comes by its ominous name honestly, as the location of a secret school for executioners and torturers, where apple-cheeked youngsters are taught the finer points of extracting information from prisoners… and then putting an end to their lives in a wide variety of gruesome ways. And they’ve reached the point in their studies where theory should ideally give way to practice, so an influx of uninvited visitors comes as a blessing to the faculty. And yes, this story is a comedy. Albeit a dark one.

Au fil des cinq albums, Dodji, Leïla, Camille, Yvan et Terry ont affronté des dangers toujours plus inquiétants et angoissants : les animaux échappés du cirque, l'adolescent attardé mental fan de couteaux, le jeune nazillon qui tyrannise son clan d'enfants occupant un parc d'attractions, les singes kidnappeurs au comportement étrange et ultra-violent, l'exploration de la zone rouge, la mort de l'un d'entre eux... Et pourtant, ils n'ont encore rien vu et tout se déglingue jusqu'au climax final, aussi terrifiant que surprenant.

Satania

Jason (psevd. for John Arne Sæterøy)

Jason, som vanligvis gjør alt selv, har denne gangen tegnet franske Fabien Vehlmanns humoristiske og mørke sjørøverhistorie om en familie, noen pirater og en øy befolket av bødler. Ungjenta Gweny finner en flaskepost med et skattekart hun tror vil føre henne til faren. Han forsvant fem år tidligere i et forsøk på å finne den legendariske skatten på De 100 000 dødes øy. Hun allierer seg med en bande pirater og seiler til øya, som viser seg å være befolket av bødler. De lurer eventyrere til øya for at elevene på stedets bøddelskole skal få øve seg i drap og tortur. Gweny og piratene fanges og dømmes til døden, men får uventet hjelp av den lite skoleflinke bøddeleleven Tobias.

De 100 000 dødes øy

In the distant future, Elijah is a member of the "Philosophical Police," who must solve conflicts that arise out of ignorance of the Other. Two species are fighting a war with roots in a crime committed centuries ago, and Elijah must solve the crime and bring peace between their species, while also confronting his own immortality in a world where science provides access to eternal life. In a world where death no longer exists, why do so many want to give up on life?
