    Torn Pages

    After a winter of snowball fights and photo-taking, fifteen-year-old David Flint isn’t looking forward to the onslaught of exam season. Nervous and prone to panicking, it would be a miracle if he even makes it through the next week. The weather is getting oven-hot and the trees are looking unusually life-like. A school trip into the woods ends with the trees coming alive and attacking people. The creatures are repelled by David’s strange classmate, Alice Collins, who suddenly draws blue fire from her hands. Alice’s house, where she lives with her mother, Molly, may be the only safe place. Molly Collins has a dark and mysterious attic and many strange bicycles fitted with electric-blue lights which, she tells David and his friends, will lead them away from danger and into a fantastical multiverse of literature. Using Molly’s bicycles, David and his friends travel to worlds that resemble classic books. They visit an epic fantasy forest, a countryside murder mystery, a brooding gothic horror, and then even wilder, more experimental books including a surreal dangerous Dublin and a postmodern university’s ultra-violent tennis tournament. All the while they travel through the worlds of literature, they are pursued by monstrous trees. How can they run, when they are running from nature itself? Read more

    Salem to Salem

    Abigail Mitchell is her colony’s witchfinder. When someone goes missing, the colony turn to her. She takes her crossbow and heads into the mountains to kill the witches: mysterious outsiders wearing pig masks and cooking human flesh in their cauldrons. She has her own problems back in the colony. Her mother and father are afraid of her. Her sick sister, Beth, might be dying. The colony council’s avuncular leader, Billy Peddlarson, shakes her hand every time Abigail brings back a dead witch but the disappearances continue, and her own doubts grow. Another witchfinder, Alice Wickham, uncovers a strange object that she shows to Abigail: a portable radio. At night, Abigail hears a frightening new sound she does not understand — the roar of a chainsaw. Read more
