This book was previously only released in a limited print run in the Netherlands. They have taken it apart and restitched it back together. The new layout looks fantastic.
"In this story set in East Texas, a local seamstress named Chintana finds herself responsible for five orphans who are not only captivated by a storyteller’s tale of vengeance but by the long black box he sets before them. As midnight approaches, the box is opened, a fateful dare is made, and the children as well as Chintana come face to face with the consequences of a malice retold and now foretold."
