The Hollowmen

Viac o knihe

The punk scarecrow horror epic you've been waiting for…Humans are on the verge of extinction, and we are better for it... These are words that Pettick, the leader of the Scarecrows, gives to his people, members of a desolate agrarian colony where living breathing scarecrows have replaced humans as the dominant species. But when a precocious young apprentice named Crane comes in contact with one of these humans, he finds the boy to be far from the monster he was indoctrinated to fear, propelling Crane on an adventure that will lead him to question everything about the world and enemy he thought he knew. Inspired by the great allegorical tales of the twentieth century, such as Lord of the Flies and Fahrenheit 451, and whimsical works of contemporaries such as Neil Gaiman and Patrick Ness, The Hollowmen is a Sci-fi Fantasy adventure that burns, like a man of straw, hot, fast and ever so bright.
