Smalltown Tales
A beautifully illustrated book of ghost stories, written and illustrated by film artist and screenwriter Iain McCaig, depicting daily life in Smalltown, where Lake Wobegon meets Norman Rockwell, with monsters.
Smalltown is a special place. Think of it as Lake Wobegon or Norman Rockwell, with monsters. These 12 illustrated short stories are introductions to the people and creatures who live there.
The ghosts Frightwood and Po—who we discover on a petrified park bench floating on a rock through space—are our guides. Meet the Smalltown vampire, the Sirens in the Sound, hear how the Bell-Ringer finds an apprentice and Albert Moon falls in love and discover the story of the First War of The Worlds.
Written and illustrated by renowned American artist, author and film maker Iain McCaig, creator of the iconic designs for Darth Maul and Queen Amidala for the Star Wars franchise, and who has worked on many successful films, such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, this is a beguiling, quirky collection that will delight and captivate.
