Wenn er in deine Stadt kommt dann ist das erste was du hörst die leiernde Melodie eines kaputten Plattenspielers. Sie kommen bei Nacht und sie am nächsten Morgen schon verschwunden. Ein schlecht gemaltes Banner verkündet den Namen der mysteriösen Erscheinung: Verres' Zoo des Grauens. Begrüßt wirst du vom Direktor Verres Rueckter persönlich. Lass dich von ihm entführen in seine zauberhafte Welt des Außergewöhnlichen. Betrachte die Flammen des Phönix oder lass dich verschlingen von der Chimäre. Wir entführen dich in die Nacht, die du nie vergisst. Eigentlich wollte sie es zu Ende gehen lassen, doch als sie die Augen öffnet, in dem Glauben im Jenseits gelandet zu sein, befindet sie sich in den Fängen eines Haufens von seltsamen Wesen die behaupten Angestellte von Verres' Zoo des Grauens zu sein. Überzeugt zu träumen gibt sie sich dieser irren Vorstellung hin. Doch bald schon muss sie feststellen, das dieser 'Zoo' kein gewöhnlicher ist. Solche Wesen gibt es doch eigentlich nicht?! [more]

The Woman Beautiful is not a radiant creature of gorgeous plumage and artificial beauty, but a woman of wholesome health, good hard sense, sparkling vivacity and sweet lovableness. Her beauty creed hangs not from rouge pots and bleaches, but suspends like a banner of truth from the laws of wise, hygienic living. Her cheeks are tinted with the glow that comes from good, well circulated blood, her eyes are bright and lovely because her mind is so, and her complexion is transparent and soft and velvety for the reason that the true art is known to her. The Woman Beautiful is all sincerity. She doesn't like to sail under false colors and so insult old Dame Nature, whose kindnesses and benefits are so well meant and freely offered. [more]
