Charlie is innocent, earnest and resourceful - pretty much the standard-issue Spunky Girl of a zillion stories. True, there are familiar rudiments here: Charlie, a teenager on a quest for her missing brother, joins a ragtag group of explorers on a journey to (well, toward) the center of the earth. It's not actually a story about Hell, nor is it a fantasy - or, not exactly. Like its predecessor, Satania seems to burst forth from an innocent, morally chaotic imagination. In 2014 this French team summoned the creepies with Beautiful Darkness, a ghoulishly comic tale in which tiny people lived on the decaying corpse of a small girl left in the woods. Halloween is a time for surprises, which makes this a great time for the release of a new book by Fabien Vehlmann and Kerascoët. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
