Book rec
I just mentioned re-reading 'Krabat' by Otfried Preußler, which is one of the best YA books I ever read. One of the kind that will appeal to kids and grown-ups alike. I figured that the writer might not be as well known outside Germany so I looked it up on amazon.com and indeed, there's a translated version going by the title 'Satanic Mill'.
It's the story of a boy who starts working as an apprentice at an old mill in the forest... yet he's soon to find out that the mill isn't quite what it appears to be.
The book is often compared to 'Harry Potter', though the two don't have that much in common besides the general subject matter. If you want to check out a different approach to the story of the sorcerer's apprentice and the fight between good and evil, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It's dark and genuinely creepy, beautifully written (at least the German version is), and, being set in the 17th century, it also gives interesting glimpses at what life was like centuries ago.
Now back to inking my comic page...
