What There Is Before There Is Anything There: A Scary Story

About this book

Every night when his parents turn off the light strange creatures descend from the black space where the ceiling used to be First comes one then another and then more and more. They stand all around him staring not saying a word. And then worst of all comes the dark shapeless one that tells him I am what there is before there is anything there Liniers art reminiscent of Herg and other great comic book artists portrays the little boys growing terror and his frantic dash for his parents bedroom. Combined with hand-lettering it creates the feeling of a graphic novel for very young readers. Destined to become a classic about nighttime fears (like Paul Galdones The Teeny-Tiny Woman) this story will resonate with young children who are afraid of the dark who might be reassured to see that although the little boys fears dont go away he does find a way to cope with them.
