Synopsis
World-renowned dark fantasy artist Brom in this illustrated novel intimately combines his dramatic storytelling with his uniquely arresting images, to create a work of striking imagination, a world where fairy-tale tradition collides with vileness and depravity, love and heroism, suffering and sacrifice. A shadowy land of make-believe where Jack and his box are stuck beneath the bed with the dust, spiders, and other castaway toys, forced to face a bitter truth: children grow up and toys are left behind. Jack believes this is the worst that can happen to a toy. But when the Plucker, a malevolent spirit, is set loose upon the world of make-believe and Jack is thrust into the unlikely role of defending Thomas, the very child who abandoned him, he finds out there is worse that can befall a toy-far worse. As desperation mounts, Jack is thrown together with Thomas's other toys-Monkey, the Nutcracker, and the ethereally beautiful porcelain doll Snow Angel-as they struggle to rise above their simple roles as playthings in an effort to save the boy they love., World-renowned dark fantasy artist Brom combines dramatic storytelling with his uniquely arresting images to create a work of striking imagination, a world where fairy-tale tradition collides with vileness and depravity, love and heroism, suffering and sacrifice.Harry N. Abrams Inc., The Plucker is a dark and twisted tale about a Jack-in-the-Box, aptly named Jack, who must fight for the life of his human boy owner against an evil force, called the Plucker (because he plucks your eyeballs out and sucks out your life force).

It took me a long time to open this package! I’ve been looking forward to this book for so long that I didn’t want to be disappointed by it not being in great shape. I opened it today and it’s in amazing shape! Very well packaged! Description and pictures were very accurate! And the seller even sent me two bucks because the shipping was less than initially thought. Amazing seller! Thank you so much!

    The Dark Version of Toy Story

    I was walking through Barnes and Noble when I saw the cover. The cover is what drew me in and it was one of the first times I picked up a book and just began reading it there for about an hour. The story line is great and art is even better!

    A dark Toy Story gone mad

    Childrens toys coming to life with a dark twist. Plucker, the spirit doll that young Thomas' father brings him from Africa in 1942 holds a secret. Broms twisted imagining, imbues the love and imaginative play with which children grant their toys can be sucked out and turned to evil purposes, destroying the soul of the child and enlivening creatures into nightmarish monsters. Thomas' old Jack-in-the-box with the aid and herbal hoodoo wisdom of Mabelle, (the ancient old nurse), and a few other lost-under-the-bed-toys band together to prevent tragedy. Jack challenges vile Foulthings spawned by the Plucker and vanquishes its malevolence. Broms descriptive powers are revealed equally in his prose and his illustrations. His paintings so detailed and layered they yield secrets deeper the more ...

    good story and great art

    I bought this book because I'm a Brom fan. I wasn't dissapointed. The art work is superb and really lends great visuals to the writing. The book gives a feeling of a dark fairy tale, more so of the brothers Grim dark originals, not the Disney fluff. If you're a Brom fan you couldn't ask for a better work. If you're not a fan, but are in need of a good read or just want to see some dark art, this is your book. While my opinions aren't as objective as they should be in regards to Brom, i still would recommend this to teenage and older readers.
