A Wild Ride Through the Night
A young adventurer embarks on a surreal quest to escape the clutches of Death in this tale inspired by—and featuring—beautiful woodcuts by Gustave Doré.

In a world between legend and dream, A Wild Ride Through the Night describes the exhilarating and comic adventures of its twelve-year-old protagonist Gustave, a boy who aspires one day to be a great artist. When a disaster at sea puts Gustave in the uncompromising hands of Death, he has the choice to give up the ghost or take on a series of six impossible tasks.

Gustave embarks on a strange and perilous journey during which he must save a princess from an angry dragon, pull a tooth from the Most Monstrous of All Monsters, fly over the moon, and even, somehow, meet his own self. Armed only with the power of his imagination, Gustave must save himself from a terrible fate.
