Andersen

Published by Diogenes as Andersen

Original Title: Andersen

Andersen, once a brutal torturer, is reborn in another century. However, his evil nature has not disappeared; it is now simply trapped in the cute form of an infant – and is therefore all the more terrifying. Andersen is given a new chance with his new life. But he does not use it to atone for his crimes. On the contrary.
