Evil Thing
“Sure, you know the story of those wretched Dalmatians. But don’t I deserve a chance to tell my own side of the story? It is fabulous, after all. ”You may think you know the tale: a happy young couple, one hundred and one Dalmatians, and the woman determined to turn them into a perfectly spotted fur coat. But who is that monster, that scene-stealer, that evil thing? Who is the woman behind it all? Before the car crash, before the dognapping, before furs became her only true love, there was another story. This is the story of Cruella De Vil—in her own words. Even the cruelest villains have best friends, true loves, and daring dreams. After all, nothing is as simple as black and white. In this first graphic novel adaptation of the New York Times best-selling Villains series, Arielle Jovellanos brings Serena Valentino’s darkly captivating world to life with beautiful and haunting illustrations in a stunning new visual format.

Serena Valentino's Villains 3 Pbk Box Set

release date: Sep 07, 2021
Serena Valentino's Villains 3 Pbk Box Set
The first three books in Serena Valentino''s New York Times best-selling Villains series, together in one paperback box set for the first time! With all-new art, this box set is the perfect entry point for newcomers to the series, and is a covetable collectible for existing fans. Fairest of All The tale of the young princess Snow White and her evil stepmother the Wicked Queen is widely known. Despite a few variations from telling to telling, the story remains the same--the Queen was jealous of the girl''s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen''s attempt on the sweet, naive girl''s life. Another tale far less often spoken of is the one that explains what caused the Queen to become so contemptuously vile. Still, some have attempted to guess at the reason. Perhaps the Queen''s true nature was that of a wicked hag and her beautiful, regal appearance a disguise used to fool the King. Others claim that the Queen might have hated the girl for her resemblance to the King''s first wife. Mostly, the Queen is painted as a morally abhorrent woman who never loved another being during the course of her miserable life. In fact, the theories about exactly what caused the Queen''s obsessive vanity and jealous rage are too numerous to catalog. This book recounts a version of the story that has remained untold until now. It is a tragic tale of love and loss, and it contains a bit of magic. It is a tale of the Wicked Queen. . . The Beast Within The tale is as old as time: a cruel prince is transformed into a beast. A lovely maiden comes into this monster''s life. He is transformed by her compassion, and the love he feels for her in return. The two live happily ever after. But any tale, especially one as storied as Beauty and the Beast''s, has been told many different times, and in many different ways. No matter which version one hears, the nagging question remains: what was it that transformed the prince into the beast we are introduced to? This is one version, pulled from the many passed down through the ages. It''s a story of vanity and arrogance, of love and hatred, of beastliness, and, of course, of beauty. Poor Unfortunate Souls The tale of the sea king''s daughter Ariel is a beloved one of losing--and then finding--one''s own voice. The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the mergirl wants more than her world can offer, and her father demands that she live within the confines of his domain. Her rebelliousness costs the little mermaid her voice and nearly her soul. But the power of good prevails, and Ariel emerges proud and changed. And yet this is only half the story. So what of Ariel''s nemesis, Ursula, the sea witch? What led to her becoming so twisted, scorned, and filled with hatred? Many tales have tried to explain her motives. Here is one account of what might have shaped the sea witch into a detestable and poor unfortunate soul.

Das Geheimnis der Dunklen Fee
Ein neuer Band in der voraussichtlich 9-bändigen Villains-Reihe: Nachdem in Band 3 die Vorgeschichte der Meerhexe Ursula erzählt wurde (vgl. "Die Einsame im Meer") widmet sich der vorliegende 4. Band der dunklen Fee aus dem Märchen Dornröschen und überzeugt inhaltlich deutlich mehr als der Vorgänger. Es wird die tragische Geschichte der jungen, gehörnten Fee Maleficient erzählt, die aufgrund ihres auffälligen Aussehens von ihren Eltern als Baby verstossen wurde und von Anfang an viel Zurückweisung erleben musste. Wie auch im Realfilm aus dem Jahr 2014 werden Krähen zu ihren engsten Vertrauten, doch von ihren Mitmenschen wird sie immer wieder bitter enttäuscht und entwickelt sich mit der Zeit zur bösen Drachenfee. Maleficients Geschichte ist eng mit den Lebensgeschichten anderer Märchenfiguren verwoben, sodass die Bücher der Reihe am besten in der vorgesehenen Reihenfolge gelesen werden sollten. Solides Lesefutter mit attraktiv-düsterem Cover für Fans der Villains. Ab 12.
