The Alarming Side Effect of Books and Other Tales

By Melyssa Williams

In The Alarming Side Effects of Books and Other Tales we are introduced to an unusual and eccentric cast ... The cheerfully undead group of ghosts that haunt a peculiar piece of real estate in Mrs. Lemon's Haunting - Jakob, a foster boy who discovers magic and tragedy across the highway in The Houses of Bell Street - A pair of doomed lovers and their last supper in Romantic Comedy - A tale collecting wraith with a penchant for cotton candy and Port in The Story Catcher - A young girl who knows precisely what can happen when your head is full of too many novels in The Alarming Side Effect of Books - The unusual but thriving business and the shopkeepers who own it at The Department Store of Lost Souls - A WW1 pilot who just might make it home to his wife, if a small boy and his antique plane have any say in it, in Dear Lottie - And finally, an excerpt of the full length YA historical suspense novel, Shadows Gray, that readers call "Spooky, spunky, romantic, suspenseful and mysterious," and "A wonderful read that will stand the test of these times and those to come."
