Charlie Laird sa už tri mesiace poriadne nevyspal. Len čo zavrie oči, ocitne sa vo svete, ktorý sa hemží čarodejnicami, škriatkami, hadmi, upírmi a všemožnými hrôzostrašnými výplodmi ľudskej fantázie. Strašia tu dokonca i klauni či huňaté biele králiky s vražednými zubami! Jedna nočná mora je však zo všetkých najhoršia a Charlie si s ňou musí poradiť, inak sa z ríše zlých snov už nikdy nedostane a privedie do záhuby aj svojich kamarátov, rodinu a celé mesto... Podarí sa mu nabrať odvahu a čeliť tomu, čo ho najviac desí?

Jason Segel nos presenta la segunda novela de su aterradora serie ¡Pesadillas! Desde que él y su pandilla lograron escapar de Mundo Tenebroso sanos y salvos, Charlie Laird duerme como un bebé la noche entera. Puede decirse que por fin tiene una vida de ensueño. Sin embargo, el temor por que las cosas cambien vuelve: el herbolario de Charlotte, antes el local más concurrido del pueblo, se ha quedado de la noche a la mañana sin clientela. Al parecer, hasta sus compradores más leales viajan ahora hasta Orville Falls por sus menjurjes y potajes. Más raro aún es que allá, en aquel pueblo, nadie parece conciliar el sueño. Todo mundo da de tumbos por las colinas como un montón de zombis descerebrados. Oh, Charlie conoce bien esta situación. Significa una sola cosa: la vida se está complicando de nuevo.

Charlie a un mauvais pressentiment : 1. Il y a une nouvelle élève au collège et il est sûr de l''avoir déjà croisée... au Royaume des Ténèbres. 2. Dès la tombée de la nuit, il entend des sons étranges. 3. Ses cauchemars sont de retour et ils sont encore plus terrifiants qu''avant ! Rien ne va plus à Cyprès-les-Bains. L''ombre des jumelles maléfiques plane encore sur la ville et la menace se précise. Quelqu''un cherche à prendre le contrôle sur le monde Éveillé. Et une armée de monstres se tient prête à attaquer. Cette fois, Charlie et ses amis n''ont pas le choix et vont devoir mettre un terme à ces histoires cauchemardesque

Charlie Laird, 12 ans, doit faire face à plusieurs problèmes : 1. Son père vient de se marier avec une femme étrange (il est sur que c''est une sorcière !). 2. Il a du déménager dans un vieux manoir inhabité depuis des années (l''endroit le plus terrifiant qu''il connaisse). 3. Dès qu''il ferme les yeux, une sorcière tente de l''entraîner vers le monde des Ténèbres (depuis, il refuse de dormir). 4. Charlie est certain que ses cauchemars sont réels et qu''il est "vraiment" en danger. Quand la sorcière de ses rêves enlève son petit-frère Jack, Charlie part aussitôt à sa recherche. Il va alors basculer dans une autre dimension, entre cauchemar et réalité. Mais pour affronter ses peurs et naviguer dans ce monde inconnu, Charlie va avoir besoin d''aide. Et vite...

¿Creíste que las pesadillas habían terminado?, ¡Pues será mejor que dejes las luces encendidas, porque la tercera entrega de la hilarante y terrorífica trilogía de Jason Segel y Kirsten Miller ya está aquí! Charlie Laird tiene un mal presentimiento. Para empezar, una chica de porte enigmático —y definitivamente familiar— se ha presentado en la Escuela Primaria de Cypress Creek; luego, ha comenzado a escuchar extraños ruidos muy tarde, en la noche, cosa que nunca es buena señal; y finalmente, las pesadillas han vuelto, ¡y están más locas que nunca!: cada vez que visita Mundo Tenebroso, una horrenda oveja negra está ahí, esperándolo... ¿Será que Charlie está atrapado en las pesadillas de alguien más? Eso, él, no lo sabe, lo único de lo que está convencido es que ICK e INK son responsables.

Depuis quelque-temps, Charlie Laird a une vie de rêves... Il a une super belle-mère, une gentille sorcière qui prépare des mixtures étranges. Dans le vieux manoir où il vit, un portail le relie au Royaume des Ténèbres où certains cauchemars sont devenus ses amis. Depuis qu''ils ont vaincu leurs peurs, ses amis et lui dorment enfin comme des bébés : chaque nuit, Charlie retrouve le Monde des Rêves avec bonheur. Malgré tout, Charlie ne peut pas s''empêcher de penser que quelque chose ne tourne pas rond... La boutique de sa belle-mère, qui ne désemplissait pas, est soudain désertée. Un concurrent vient de s''installer, et tout le monde s''y presse pour acheter une mystérieuse potion qui permettrait de se débarrasser de ses mauvais rêves. Depuis, les gens errent dans la ville comme des zombies... Plus personne ne réussit à fermer l''oeil. Et sans rêveurs, le Monde des Rêves est en danger ! Les ennuis recommencent et Charlie doit régler la situation avant qu''elle ne dérape vraiment ! Accompagné de ses fidèles amis, de son petit-frère, et de Méduso la Gorgone, Charlie traverse à nouveau le portail qui le conduit au Royaume des Ténèbres. Cette fois, il naviguera entre trois univers différents, entre le monde éveillé, celui des rêves et le Royaume des Ténèbres...

Charlieho Lairda opäť mátajú zlé sny. A pritom ich nemal od čias, ako sa odvážne postavil svojim strachom. Zakaždým sa ocitne v Podsvetí na poli, obklopený stádom desivých čiernych oviec. Nie sú to obyčajné ovečky, aké počítame, keď nevieme zaspať. Okrem toho, že vyzerajú hrozivo, nerobia vlastne nič mimoriadne. Charlieho však najviac znepokojuje, že to nie je jeho vlastná nočná mora. Jednoducho uviazol v zlom sne niekoho iného. A dal by ruku do ohňa za to, že v tom majú prsty dvojčatá ICK a INK...

Jason Segel hatte früher selbst schreckliche Albträume - genau wie Charlie. Und genau wie Charlie hat er irgendwann begriffen, dass uns unsere Ängste stark machen können, wenn wir uns ihnen stellen. Jason macht viele Sachen gerne, zum Beispiel: schauspielern, schreiben, musizieren oder Zeit mit Freunden verbringen. Wenn er nicht gerade Drehbücher schreibt oder Songs für Filme textet, ist er selbst auf der Leinwand zu sehen oder als Synchronsprecher zu hören. Vielleicht kennst Du ihn aus dem Kinofilm Die Muppets. Deine Eltern kennen ihn bestimmt aus einem seiner anderen Filme. Nightmares! - Die Schrecken der Nacht ist sein erstes Kinderbuch. Er hat es zusammen mit Kirsten Miller geschrieben.

Charlie neměl tolik zlých snů od té doby, co se postavil svým strachům. Kdykoli usne, ocitne se v podsvětě na poli, obklopený stádem děsivých černých ovcí. Nejsou to ovečky, jaké počítáme před usnutím. Nepřecházejí poslušně jedna za druhou po můstku. Nedělají vlastně skoro nic. Ale ještě hrozivější je, že to není Charlieho noční můra. Nějak se totiž stalo, že uvízl ve zlém snu někoho jiného.

Charlie Laird žije snový život. Bydlí v tajemném zámečku s bránou do podsvěta, plného přátelských nočních můr. A navíc mu právě začínají letní prázdniny. Jenomže se nemůže zbavit pocitu, že se děje něco divného. Herbárium jeho nevlastní mámy bývalo jedním z nejrušnějších krámků v Cypřišovém Potoce. A najednou si její zákazníci jezdí pro bylinkové lektvary do vedlejšího městečka. Ještě horší je, že po ulicích toho městečka bloumají divné existence, které vypadají jako živí mrtví. Prý se tam už dlouho nikdo pořádně nevyspal. A Charlie ví ze všech nejlíp, co je to za hrůzu. Vypadá to, že se zase rýsuje pořádný malér...

Charlie Laird žije život snov. Býva v tajomnom zámku s bránou do Podsvetia, plného priateľských nočných môr. A navyše sa mu práve začínajú letné prázdniny. Nedokáže sa však zbaviť pocitu, že sa deje niečo čudné. Slávne herbárium jeho nevlastnej mamy odrazu zíva prázdnotou a zákazníci si chodia po bylinkové odvary do vedľajšieho mestečka! A ešte horšie je, že po uliciach toho mestečka sa ponevierajú čudné existencie, ktoré vyzerajú ako živé mŕtvoly. Vraj sa tam už dlho nikto poriadne nevyspal. Zdá sa, že vo vzduchu visí poriadny malér a Charlie s priateľmi ho musia čo najskôr vyriešiť...
