Book named I´m Not Afraid of the Darkness Any More is coming in production of the Czech Publishing House Mlada fronta. That´s crisp story about little Stephen and his teddy bear Bartholomew but about the subjects hiding in the darkness and about something that makes fearsome from the usual things above all. About grim reaper coming through the bedroom´s window every night, about the dangerous octopus, vampire from the picture on the wall and also about the darkness runing away from the wardrobe after opening – but nobody knows where.
