"The Great Dark Circus descends from a rotten, cursed, demon-related lineage. Every sin, every flaw and every torment from men are represented in our show.Come and watch, meet the tragedy of the ventriloquist mother, the secret of the butterfly princess and the angst of the mist-man...Going into the roaming black tent of the Great Dark Circus is acceding to the magic of its phenomena, and that magic will be the source of our misfortune, because we are all of them."

From Blast Books: This graphic novel by one of Japan's most accomplished artists tells the unsettling saga of twin sisters born on a dark and stormy night in Tokyo: one normal, and one a demon baby with a taste for blood--a Hell Baby. Tossed into a garbage dump in a plastic bag, Hell Baby dies, but is brought back to life by an unworldly bolt of lightning. Hell Baby develops hard-earned hunting techniques to survive life among the wild animals who roam the dump. After struggling along for seven years, she seeks revenge for her fate and returns to the city, where she applies her hunting skills for survival--this time against the good citizens of Tokyo. Replete with Hino's trademark black humor and unflinching imagery, HELL BABY is a classic horror tour de force.

Welcome to one of the most disturbing minds in Japanese manga! Hideshi Hino has long been considered a master of the horror manga genre since his coming out in the late seventies. And the four stories in Lullabies from Hell will show you how demented the man can be. The self-titled first chapter introduces you to the author himself, a horror quasi-biography of sorts. The second story tells of Hino's having willed his pregnant wife into birthing a horrible, planet-devastating reptile baby that eats puppies and children! And you can imagine how the stories progress from there. Take a look inside the mind of a madman! Published in the popular, unretouched and unflopped manga format, Lullabies from Hell might make sleeping a bit of a challenge!
