OtherLife

Charlie Laird has a very bad feeling. 1. There's a NEW GIRL at school, and Charlie and his friends have DEFINITELY seen her before. 2. He's been hearing strange noises after dark, which is NEVER a good sign. 3. The nightmares are back, and they're WEIRDER THAN EVER. Not since he faced his fears has Charlie had so many bad dreams. Whenever he falls asleep, he finds himself in a Netherworld field, surrounded by a flock of CREEPY BLACK SHEEP. They're not counting sheep. They refuse to jump. In fact, they don't do much at all. EVEN EERIER, THOUGH, is that it's not Charlie's nightmare. Somehow he's trapped in someone else's bad dream. And he's pretty sure the twins ICK and INK are responsible. Charlie and his friends thought they'd put the twins out of business, but it seems they didn't quite finish the job. Now the WOOLLY NIGHTMARES are closing in, and INK has shown up at Cypress Creek Elementary! Charlie's convinced that INK is up to NO GOOD. And if he's right, it could be a very long time before anyone's dreams are sweet again.

Everything You Need to Know about NIGHTMARES! and How to Defeat Them

Nightmares 01. Die Schrecken der Nacht

Jason Segel hatte früher selbst schreckliche Albträume - genau wie Charlie. Und genau wie Charlie hat er irgendwann begriffen, dass uns unsere Ängste stark machen können, wenn wir uns ihnen stellen. Jason macht viele Sachen gerne, zum Beispiel: schauspielern, schreiben, musizieren oder Zeit mit Freunden verbringen. Wenn er nicht gerade Drehbücher schreibt oder Songs für Filme textet, ist er selbst auf der Leinwand zu sehen oder als Synchronsprecher zu hören. Vielleicht kennst Du ihn aus dem Kinofilm Die Muppets. Deine Eltern kennen ihn bestimmt aus einem seiner anderen Filme. Nightmares! - Die Schrecken der Nacht ist sein erstes Kinderbuch. Er hat es zusammen mit Kirsten Miller geschrieben.

¡Pesadillas!

Jason Segel nos presenta la segunda novela de su aterradora serie ¡Pesadillas! Desde que él y su pandilla lograron escapar de Mundo Tenebroso sanos y salvos, Charlie Laird duerme como un bebé la noche entera. Puede decirse que por fin tiene una vida de ensueño. Sin embargo, el temor por que las cosas cambien vuelve: el herbolario de Charlotte, antes el local más concurrido del pueblo, se ha quedado de la noche a la mañana sin clientela. Al parecer, hasta sus compradores más leales viajan ahora hasta Orville Falls por sus menjurjes y potajes. Más raro aún es que allá, en aquel pueblo, nadie parece conciliar el sueño. Todo mundo da de tumbos por las colinas como un montón de zombis descerebrados. Oh, Charlie conoce bien esta situación. Significa una sola cosa: la vida se está complicando de nuevo.

Charlie Laird žije snový život. Bydlí v tajemném zámečku s bránou do podsvěta, plného přátelských nočních můr. A navíc mu právě začínají letní prázdniny. Jenomže se nemůže zbavit pocitu, že se děje něco divného. Herbárium jeho nevlastní mámy bývalo jedním z nejrušnějších krámků v Cypřišovém Potoce. A najednou si její zákazníci jezdí pro bylinkové lektvary do vedlejšího městečka. Ještě horší je, že po ulicích toho městečka bloumají divné existence, které vypadají jako živí mrtví. Prý se tam už dlouho nikdo pořádně nevyspal. A Charlie ví ze všech nejlíp, co je to za hrůzu. Vypadá to, že se zase rýsuje pořádný malér...
