Dark fairytales are my crack. This is going on my to-read.


Jen Finelli

I love how scary the title sounds. That's an amazing cover, and I'm curious about "corporate magicians" and "living architecture." Neat!

As a secret war breaks out across London with her at the centre, Mary finds fragments of her own past resurfacing, and has to understand the true nature of her legacy before it's too late...

THE STICKMAN'S LEGACY is a dark fairy-tale about the stories we tell ourselves.

Lamplight

WHY BE AFRAID OF THE DARK?

Amy and her friends don't know what to make of the weird anonymous messages they keep getting, but that's nothing compared to the fireworks when Jack's beautiful sister, Jessica, returns to town and starts an all-out war between her admirers. In the ensuing drama, none of the group notice that they're being picked off, one by one, by a force beyond imagination...

Amy must hurry to uncover the secrets of her hometown before there's no-one left to save, but something ancient is stalking the night-time streets of Crooksfield, and it's not afraid to come into the light.

LAMPLIGHT is a terrifying contemporary ghost story about smartphones and social isolation.
