Brom’s, “The Plucker”
Penguin October 4th, 2007
“The Plucker” is an adult illustrated novel. From Variety:
Published in 2005 by Harry Abrams, “The Plucker” revolves around a toy jack-in-the-box that awakens beneath its owner’s bed and realizes it has been relegated to a place where undesired playthings go to die. There, he discovers the Plucker, a malevolent spirit from a mysterious new toy that has evil designs on the young owner of the toys.
Brom, an artist who began his career as a commercial illustrator of novels, role-playing games, videogames (”World of Warcraft”) and such films as “Sleepy Hollow” and “Van Helsing,” made “The Plucker” his first illustrated gothic tale. He followed it with “The Devil’s Rose,” described as a Western set in hell.
It looks dark and amazing. If they could somehow get Tim Burton attached, I’d be sold. I’m definitely into the book.
