Jack (and the box), a forgotten toy, must fight against the evil Plucker, a demonic spirit, to protect his fellow toys and his human child Thomas.
Think of a terrifying Toy Story, it's even laid out like a kid's picture book. This is probably the most whimsically dark book I've ever read. Set up like a kid's book with large print and overlay images you'd think it'd be a cute story about a toy protecting its child but this is Brom so there are more than cute little monsters to go up against there are literal demons for Jack to battle.
If you've always wanted to see your toys fight against the actual monster under the bed this is the book for you.
