This enchanting and mystical tale will capture any reader's imagination. Count D owns a petshop in Chinatown where he seels the rarest, strangest pets anywhere. Each pet comes with a simple set of rules that must be followed or suffer the terrible consequences. The love and dreams he sells can quickly turn into nightmares if a rule is broken. This time D sells Lady Luck to a man in need of some, and gives a lover a chance for love .. or revenge. Then, Officer Orcot is pulled into an all to real dream with D, but do they realize just how real it is?

The stories are haunting, the art is elegant, and the truth can be quite horrific. Petshop of Horrors is a chilling series that will leave you stragely satisfied while hungering for more. I'm also facinated by where the relationship between D and Leon is going ... especially after D's last comment in this volume.

There are many creative and interesting plot twists in this volume ... some which even surprise D. The stories are all quite different, but are all tied together by D's petshop and the tragic situations that drove them there. Don't miss this spectacular volume of Petshop of Horrors; it will make you laugh while chills run down your spine.
