The Reptile Room

Imagine tales so terrible that as many as 50 million innocents have been ruined by them - tales so indelibly horrid that the New York Times Bestseller List has been unable to rid itself of it for seven years.

Lock your doors and hide your little ones, for this is no mere fancy. The reviled Lemony Snicket's first two tales of the Baudelaire orphans are reborn ... in an even more flammable format.
