Every day after school Lisa passes by a mysterious house; she wonders who lives there, what their name is and what they look like. One day she finds a nice cat sitting outside of the house. While the cat slides under the door, Lisa follows it in order to save it and then finds herself inside the House of Monsters. For the first time in Italy, these original pages from the beautiful album of Emelie Östergren will take us to a mysterious place full of chills, mishaps and surprises.
