In the crooked town of Gloamhollow, nothing stays ordinary for long.
A boy with a flame for hair tries not to burn too brightly. Two crow twins turn rumours into disasters. A solemn child undertaker holds a funeral for a missing sock. A glutton eats the weather. A bell-hating hunchback hears trouble before it rings. A colour thief leaves black roses in her wake. An alley rat deals in favours, grudges, and secrets. A hovering wisp offers help that no one should trust. Around them all, the town itself watches through fog, flickering lamplight, and streets that seem to remember more than they ought.
The Grimble is a collection of twelve whimsical gothic tales set in a town where mischief has teeth, sorrow has manners, and even the smallest disturbance can grow into something peculiar. Each story follows one of Gloamhollow's strange and unforgettable residents, before all eleven collide in a final tale where every loose thread begins to tighten at once.
Warm, eerie, funny, and darkly enchanting, The Grimble is perfect for readers who love whimsical fantasy with a gothic edge, curious characters, and stories where the oddest hearts often shine the brightest.
