Dorothy nella Terra dei Mostri (Oz ReVamped #1)
by Garten GevedonMutaforma, zombie e vampiri? Oddio! Mi chiamo Dorothy Gale e penso che potrei essere morta. Quando io e il mio cane Toto siamo stati travolti da un tornado, siamo atterrati all'inferno. Un inferno molto colorato. Come un arcobaleno che gocciola nel sangue. Ora sembra che questo terribile mondo sotterraneo afflitto da vampiri, zombie e mutaforma sarà il luogo della mia dannazione eterna. Dicono che questa terra terrificante chiamata Oz non sia l'inferno o il purgatorio e che la fuga sia possibile, ma prima devo sopravvivere al viaggio lungo la strada di mattoni gialli intrisa di sangue fino all'unico posto di Oz dove i vampiri non osano calpestare: la Città di Smeraldi. Con le scarpe incantate e l'aiuto dei miei tre nuovi amici - un amichevole zombie, un enorme leone mutaforma e un assassino senza cuore che uccide con l'ascia le malvagie creature della notte (che è anche il ragazzo più sexy che abbia mai visto) - Toto e io abbiamo la possibilità di arrivare alla Zona Libera dai Vampiri. Quando ci arriveremo, devo convincere il mago più potente di questa terra magica di mostri a mandarci fuori da questo radioso incubo e tornare nel mondo dei vivi. Dicono che sia spaventoso quanto questa terra mostruosa, che detesta i visitatori e che anche le creature più orribili si rannicchiano in sua presenza. Ma io devo cercarlo. E quando lo troverò, farò tutto il necessario per farmi mandare a casa.
