Gremlins

Published in 1943 and long unavailable Dark Horse Books is proud to present this landmark book from the author of such beloved tales as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" "James and the Giant Peach" and "Matilda".

Gus was the first man to ever see a Gremlin and what happened after that would change the war
and the world forever. Bought by Walt Disney to be produced as an animated motion picture (and considered to be the first story featuring the mythical airplane sabotaging creatures known as Gremlins) the project was ultimately shelved and is reprinted here for the first time in over 60 years."
