Kerstin Gier schreibt tolle Buecher! Witzig und leicht zu lesen. Das perfekte Buch fuer den Strand oder einem verregneten Wochenende.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is a cool little book. It is more concentrated on presentation than story. The book is very handsome, black pages, great dark illustrations, which really add to the tone. The story comes in the form of journal enteries, which are broken up by naturalist descriptions of "dangerous fairies". The story is there, the tension develops, but the real meat of the book, for me at least, were the information about creatures of myth and folklore. I was disappointed that the illustrator did a picture of a "Wildman" aka Bigfoot because the creature is so ubiquitous. I also didn't like the illustration for "Cyote" because of the creature's cowboy/bowler hat because it robs the Native American myth of its culture. This book has made me extra excited to the the movie coming out this weekened.
