The sunset colors the tombs of St. Patrick's Cemetery with a reddish hue. Everything seems very peaceful. Salamanders emerge from their burrows and frogs play flutes beneath the poisonous mushrooms. Hunchbacked demons, red devils, and Death himself meet among the tombstones. The dead begin to talk. Or rather, these dead never stop talking! Who will dare to cross the cemetery walls under the setting sun? These are new stories that continue the charming series "Graveyard Tales" by French writer Yak Rivais, blending horror and humor for children and young adults. Remember what the ghosts never tire of repeating: "Woo! Woo!" Steven must face diabolical creatures who collect precious stones in "The Black Dwarves." "An-nick and the Devil's Hand" tells the story of a little girl whose shadow is stolen by a troublemaking demon. In "The Ghost's Pullover," a young man named Noelik comes across a thread sticking out of a grave and, while pulling on it, ends up unraveling the coat of a chilly corpse. In the short story "Miss Mind Your Own Business," little Rozic struggles to escape a soul-trading black cat. "The Vampire's Arm" shows how Gwenn and her little sister Jannette embark on a dangerous adventure while fleeing a blood-sucking monster. In "The Drakk," a giant dragon that inhabits the depths of the cemetery wants to make sure Périk doesn't leave alive... or dead! Finally, "No Dandelion for Jean-Marie" tells the story of a boy's struggle to return the skull of a talkative corpse to the ground. Under the Setting Sun features seven short stories that continue the magical, simultaneously frightening and hilarious atmosphere that is a hallmark of the entire Cemetery Tales series. The other five books in the series are: After the Rain, Under the Rainbow, Before the Storm, On the Autumn Wind, and In the Mist.
