BURNS CHARLES

ΜΑΥΡΗ ΤΡΥΠΑ
Ήταν σαν ένα απαίσιο παιχνίδι κυνηγητού... τους πήρε αρκετό χρόνο, αλλά επιτέλους κατάλαβαν ότι ήταν κάποιο νέο είδος ασθένειας που προσέβαλλε μόνο τους εφήβους.

(H/B) BIG BABY
From the creator of the 2005 hit graphic novel Black Hole comes this new softcover edition of his other masterpiece of modern horror. Big Baby is a particularly impressionable young boy named Tony Delmonte, who lives in a seemingly typical American suburb until he sneaks out of his room one night and becomes entangled in a horrific plot involving summer camp murders and backyard burials.
