There is nothing to find in the pages of the series 'A Series of Unfortunate Events', except for misery and despair. However, if you must know what unpleasant adventures await the clever and charming Baudelaire children, continue reading...

The story of 'Carnivorous Carnival' contains such an unsettling narrative that consuming any of its contents would be far more unpleasant than the most unbalanced meal. It's best to avoid mentioning any of the ingredients of this story, particularly a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, a freakish crowd, a wooden plank, and Chabo the Wolf Baby.

In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes a well-crafted and deliberately dark comedy that is both literary and subversive, funny and skillfully made. Despite the sadness of its contents, the series 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' has sold 60 million copies worldwide and has been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey. In the future, things seem to be getting even worse with the upcoming Netflix series featuring Neil Patrick Harris. You have been warned.
