Mare is a 2008 Norwegian children's horror triller picture book series by Ruben Eliassen of Phenomena fame, but not illustrated by him. It's completed with 3 books, like most Norwegian Fantasy book series these days.The Circus is run by a petty crook called Caravaggio, only concerned with two things: making money and keeping the tax collectors at bay. But something tells the greedy man that it might pay off in the long run to let this dark and mysterious lad tag along, even though he keeps threatening to hand him over to the orphanhage.A film adaption is in the works, it's gonna be a Stop Motion animation movie. How much it's going to cover is unknown, but seems like the whole trilogy. You can read more about it here.

Red Right Hand
 Mare / int_25b7257f
comment
Red Right Hand: while not evil, Caravagio does have a magical, yes you guessed right, right arm. It has many markings and the tax collectors are trying to take it from him as a payment for unpaid taxes over several years.

Contrasting Sequel Main Character
 Mare / int_517d2eb8
comment
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: while not being a sequel are the characters very different from the characters in Phenomena. While there are some similarities there are no direct expies, unlike most new works turn out now.

Circus of Fear
 Mare / int_685a6461
comment
Circus of Fear: To onlookers the Circus is freaky and surreal, although the performers are fairly nice people. Although it's a subversion of the Circus Performers are like Family cliché as while they do care about each other are most doing their best to survive and mostly care about themselves.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Mare / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Eliassen started writing it after the treasurer gave him a lot of taxes for no aparent reason. When he complained they claimed that while they were fixing it he still had to pay. So this is why it's about Stupid Evil treasures.

Adaptation Name Change
 Mare / int_dc057cf3
comment
Adaptation Name Change: both the title and name of the main character is gonna change. Mare is going to become Terry, and the movie is gonna be called The Dream Prince. This is probably to avoid English-speakers mistaking it for meaning female horse.
