Cantarella



Enter the world of the infamous Borgia family of Renaissance Italy. Orphaned at an early age, Cesare Borgia is surrounded by an aura of spirits that both torment and haunt him. Separated from those who could love him, Cesare battles his demons and employs Cantarella, a poison, to vanquish his mortal enemies. Based on historical legend, Cantarella portrays a soul in anguish as opposed to a vicious murderer. For mature teens. ~ Cerridwen

Naoki Urasawa's Monster



A brilliant young doctor, Kenzo Tenma, is summoned to save a critically wounded young boy. Years later, a series of murders leads a police detective to his door, this time as a suspect. Is he guilty of horrific crimes to further his medical career, or has he unwittingly created a monster? Dark and thought-provoking, the content is more appropriate for mature teens. ~ Cerridwen
