Brom is a legend in the sci-fi/fantasy community, and in this illustrated novel, the world-renowned dark fantasy artist intimately combines dramatic storytelling with uniquely arresting images to create a work of striking imagination – a world where fairy-tale tradition collides with vileness and depravity, love and heroism, suffering and sacrifice. It is shadowy land of make-believe where Jack and his box are stuck beneath the bed with the dust, spiders and other castaway toys, forced to face a bitter truth: children grow up and toys are left behind. Jack believes this is the worst that can happen to a toy. But when the Plucker, a malevolent spirit, is set loose upon the world of make-believe and Jack is thrust into the unlikely role of defending Thomas, the very child who abandoned him, he finds out there is worse that can befall a toy. Far worse. As desperation mounts, Jack is thrown together with Thomas’s other toys – Monkey, the Nutcracker and the ethereally beautiful porcelain doll Snow Angel – as they struggle to rise above their simple roles as playthings in an effort to save the boy they love. Now updated with eight all-new exclusive pages of original content from Brom in an affordable paperback edition.
