Yes, you read that right: the master of horror and the king of surrealist children’s books come together for this spine-tingling retelling of the classic folktale.

King imbues the timeless tale of a lost brother and sister fending off a ravenous witch with a creeping sense of foreboding, which is perfectly paired with Sendak’s evocative illustrations. Whether an old fan of the creators or a burgeoning horror-hound, this book makes a perfect read for those who enjoy the spookies.
