ABOUT THE BOOK
Trips to exotic islands can be more exhausting that relaxing sometimes, and on the island of Mala Suerte, they’re a real beast in the newest original graphic novel from horror legend R.L. Stine!
Karla and her little brother Benny accompany their Uncle Bill on a scientific expedition to study unidentified species on the remote island but after a little “bad luck” they soon discover something terrifying and deadly living in the river swamp...
With nowhere to run, will Karla, Benny, and Uncle Bill survive the unimaginable and harrowing horrors of the place aptly nicknamed Beast Island?
“Swamp monsters are horrifying to me. They rise up from the murky depths, bringing nothing but terror. With this story, I hope readers will feel like they are watching one of those timeless old-fashioned horror movies that make everyone shudder and scream,” said Stine. (SOURCE: Comic Book Resources)
