书籍简介

这部“妙趣横生”（《纽约时报》畅销书作家詹姆斯·庞蒂语）、惊悚诡谲、插图精美的儿童系列小说，融合了雷蒙尼·斯尼克和罗尔德·达尔的风格，讲述了一个饥饿的野兽、一个虚荣的永生者和一个并不讨喜的小女孩的故事。

美丽是有代价的。没有人比埃比尼泽·特威泽更明白这一点，他已经保持了511年的美貌。你可能会好奇他是怎么做到的？其实很简单，埃比尼泽只需要喂养他豪宅阁楼里的野兽。作为交换，他会献上表演的猴子、温斯顿·丘吉尔的雕像，偶尔还会送上仙人掌，而野兽则会给他永葆青春的药水和其他礼物。

但是，野兽每吃一顿就变得更加贪婪，有一天，它宣布下一个目标是一个鲜嫩多汁的孩子。为了保住自己美好的生命，埃比尼泽从未做过如此可怕的事情。然而，他还是找到了一个傲慢、顽劣、令人厌恶的孩子，准备把她喂给野兽。

这个名叫贝瑟妮的孩子，或许比埃比尼泽预想的还要棘手。她的确是个相当粗鲁的房客，但埃比尼泽却发现自己竟然希望她不被吃掉。难道贝瑟妮与其说是一顿美餐，不如说是……一个值得结交的朋友？

这套奇特有趣的平装盒装书包括：

《野兽与贝瑟妮》

《野兽的复仇》

《野兽之战》

Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this “wickedly funny” (James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author), deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated middle grade series about a hungry beast, a vain immortal man, and a not-so-charming little girl.

Beauty comes at a price. And no one knows that better than Ebenezer Tweezer, who has stayed beautiful for 511 years. How, you may wonder? Ebenezer simply has to feed the beast in the attic of his mansion. In return for meals of performing monkeys, statues of Winston Churchill, and the occasional cactus, Ebenezer gets potions that keep him young and beautiful, as well as other presents.

But the beast grows ever greedier with each meal, and one day he announces that he’d like to eat a nice, juicy child next. Ebenezer has never done anything quite this terrible to hold onto his wonderful life. Still, he finds the absolutely snottiest, naughtiest, and most frankly unpleasant child he can and prepares to feed her to the beast.

The child, Bethany, may just be more than Ebenezer bargained for. She’s certainly a really rather rude houseguest, but Ebenezer still finds himself wishing she didn’t have to be gobbled up after all. Could it be Bethany is less meal-worthy and more…friend-worthy?

This delightfully strange paperback boxed set includes:

The Beast and the Bethany

Revenge of the Beast

Battle of the Beast
