The Dark
Description
A Globe & Mail 100 Selection
Two bestselling talents shed new light on an age-old fear
Lazlo is afraid of the dark. It hides in closets and sometimes sits behind the shower curtain, but mostly it lives in the basement. One night, when Lazlo's nightlight burns out, the dark comes to visit him in his room. "Lazlo," the Dark says. "I want to show you something." And so Lazlo descends the basement stairs to face his fears and discover a few comforting facts about the mysterious presence with whom all children must learn to live.
Beautifully rendered with sympathy and wit, this first collaboration between Snicket and Klassen offers a fresh take on a universal childhood experience.
