Charly Malfède #[nn]

Four young people huddle together at the edge of a dark forest, their eyes wide as a massive shadowy creature looms over a house in the moonlit background — one tiny figure dangles precariously in its grasp. Created by Christian Carayon, Alessandra Marsili, and Michel-Yves Schmitt, this 2019 Jungle/Frissons release sets an immediately atmospheric tone, with Charly front and center clutching an open book as if answers might be found within its pages. If you enjoy young-protagonist supernatural adventures with a genuinely eerie edge, this one makes a compelling first impression right from the cover.
