This is the story of a little girl called Zoe. Things are not looking good for Zoe. Her hamster just died, her stepmother hates her, the school bully makes her life a misery. And now the evil Burt from Burt’s Burgers is after her new pet rat Armitage. Armitage is no ordinary rat; he can break dance! But does Burt appreciate Armitage for his talents? No. Can you guess what he wants to do with him? The clue is in the title…

Esiste, tra gl'incartamenti dei delitti insoluti, il caso d'una squartatrice di bambole? O di un pappagallo tornato dall'aldilà per vendicarsi ferocemente? O, al contrario, tra le opere benefiche, è menzionato un cane fantasma che salva i bambini con le sue premonizioni, o un pellicano 'martire' che dà la sua vita e il suo sangue per i piccoli, sia degli uccelli che degli uomini? Queste e altre storia sono strisciate fuori dalla penna di diversi autori noti, che ce l'hanno messa tutta per regalarvi chi un rapido brivido, chi qualche minuto di batticuore, chi un'oretta di occhi sbarrati nel buio.

Conservare bellezza e giovinezza a ogni costo, vivere in un infinito presente anche se il prezzo è un'infinita dannazione: la storia di Dorian Gray è probabilmente una delle più note che la letteratura abbia mai raccontato, e non c'è generazione di lettori che non si sia confrontata con la straordinaria favola per adulti scritta da Oscar Wilde. Una favola che intreccia personaggi, o meglio anime molto diverse tra di loro: da Dorian Gray, il dandy che espia il proprio edonismo con la vecchiaia, a Lord Henry, il cui spirito cinico e decadente richiama quello dello stesso Wilde. Ma proprio l'intrecciarsi di tante anime, insieme alla fortissima tensione narrativa, fa si che l'incanto del Ritratto resti intatto nonostante il passare del tempo
