Etat : Good. : En la Nueva Zelanda de los años 30, Klynham es una pequeña y tranquila ciudad. Hasta la llegada del Espantapájaros, un gigante mago que se hace amigo del enterrador. A partir de entonces, se sucederán casos cada vez más graves: robos de gallinas, muertes sospechosas, desapariciones, incendios, violaciones y asesinatos. Crónica llena de velocidad, pero también novela negra, L'Épouvantail posee el encanto venenoso de La noche del cazador. Este libro encantador es obra de un neozelandés que escribió poco y permaneció desconocido en su propio país. Fue Australia quien lo sacó de la oscuridad, así como el cine, ya que L'Épouvantail fue objeto de una película con John Carradine.
