Black Wheel

Black Wheel (alternative title: The Black Wheel: A Story about Life, Mysteries and Wonders) is a short novel made by Hérgei Skôlvok in 1938. The story follows a penguin who is lost in the woods after a car crash waddles into a forest nearby, soon discovering the truth of life and how dark can life become. The book shows the author's perspective upon life and it's reality. A sequel, Black Wheel: The Second Chapter, was released in January 1991 by Hérgei himself, though later on the book had many sequels and prequels by various authors.
In November 2018, a special bundle of Hérgei's books was made and the Black Wheel franchise was one of the most requested: thus came Black Wheel's 30th Anniversary Edition, with extended texts and hidden contents Hérgei never revealed to his fans (most of them were scrapped plots and ideas). Black Wheel was one of the few books to have a 4th remake, changing it's name into Black Wheel: Darkest Secrets.

* Due to severe and strict time constraints, Hérgei was unable to add more chapters on both parts: he actually planned to add four more chapters on the First Half and three or four more chapters to the Second Half. His editors and superiors did not agreed for him to add more chapters, Hérgei scold them violently for having a bad taste in literature. They were even brought to justice, where they payed amends.
** Fortunately, Hérgei made an extended version of Black Wheel, named Black Wheel: Anniversary Edition, the official canon remake of Black Wheel. Various scripts were added, even the presence of a prologue was added. The book was also written with the help of William Shelby, Hérgei's close friend.
* Vanilla Barry's name comes from Hérgei's favorite ice cream flavor and a character he likes from Wonderful Life, a work made by William Shelby.
