Lemony Snicket Libri

Un bambino che sparisce in un quadro. Due amici che fanno dolcetto-scherzetto in una casa dalle luci spente. Una nonna che parla con le ombre. Un oste che prepara salsicce di maiale alquanto sospette. Pensate che siano storielle per bambini? Settantadue grandi autori per adulti e per ragazzi si sfidano a farvi provare un brivido in meno di un minuto, chi con un racconto, chi con un’illustrazione, una poesia, una filastrocca o un fumetto. Neil Gaiman, Joyce Carol Oates, Lemony Snicket, Jonathan Lethem, Margaret Atwood, Jerry Spinelli, Holly Black, Brian Selznick, R.L. Stine e altri ancora: dallo humour nero all’horror puro, in una o tre pagine al massimo proverete settantadue golosissimi spaventi, dopo i quali non potrete più guardare allo stesso modo il gatto in fondo al vicolo, l’armadio dall’anta cigolante e perfino la vostra immagine riflessa allo specchio.

Set against a rich backdrop, it delves into personal struggles, secrets, and the impact of choices on lives.

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES A Warning from the Publisher: If you have come this far, it is likely too late. Readers who have experienced the first nine volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket are usually so weakened by their dreadful knowledge of the Baudelaire orphans' story that they spend most of their time moaning and weeping, and have no strength to read The Slippery Slope , The Grim Grotto , or The Penultimate Peril . If, by chance, your moaning and weeping is more or less under control, there is no need to further risk your physical, emotional, and literary health by reading volumes 10 through 12. It would be better to regain your strength by spending your time indulging in less alarming activities, such as whistling or making cupcakes for the elderly. There is no need to expose yourself to more atrocities, not after all you've been through already.

How could you even ask that? What kind of education have you had? Maybe you should be in school...

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES A Warning from the Would you rather sprain your ankle, bruise your hip, and lose a toe to frostbite on the same day? Or would you rather have these accidents happen on three different days? This collection of volumes seven through nine in A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is the equivalent of having three ghastly accidents right in a row. Contained here are such unpleasantries as kidnapping, disguise, murder, paperwork, another disguise, heart-shaped balloons, false allegations, stiletto heels, a shattered crystal ball, a cryptic map, an irritating song, and quite a few more disguises, all bundled together into a continuous barrage of horror and dismay. The more sensible approach would be to read The Vile Village , The Hostile Hospital , and The Carnivorous Carnival months or even years apart from one another, so you have time to recuperate from the misery each volume offers—or better yet, to turn your eyes away from Mr. Snicket's work and find a literary experience that would cause you no distress whatsoever.
