The Plucker by Brom

March 13th, 2010 by Cornflakegirl

The Plucker is a fairy tale about toys´ loyalty and it´s a step forward regarding to Toy Story; The Plucker goes where Toy Story doesn´t dare. Brom tells the story of Jack, a Jack-in-the-box toy, just a forgotten toy, who doesn´t hesitate in going to rescue his owner Thomas when Thomas’ soul is kept by Nigerian doll. This doll has trapped an evil spirit inside, The Plucker (because he plucks the eyes of his victims).

This is the first illustrated novel by Brom and I enjoyed it a lot. It´s visually stunning and the story is engaging: a really page-turner. It´s darker, wicker and more disturbing than Tory Story. I highly recommend it. I´m looking forward to reading his other works: Devil´s Rose y The Child Thief.

Although I was told that it could be a movie soon, I didn´t hear anything else about it; however, I know that it was adapted for a stage play.
