For adults who miss the strange, spooky adventures they loved as kids.
Deadly cold weather. Strange tracks in the snow. Unexplained disappearances. And Enoch Wildwood, local eccentric, torn to pieces on his own back lawn.
The town of Eddystone is having a very bad winter.
Eleven-year-old Danny Hallow arrives in town for the reading of his Uncle Enoch's will and unexpectedly inherits the entire, deeply questionable Hallow family legacy-including an ancient house that seems to have a life of its own, a family history full of dark secrets, and something strange awakening inside Danny.
Danny has always suspected there was something unusual about himself. Now he begins to wonder if he has inherited more than his uncle's house.
As people disappear and something unnatural stalks the frozen town, Danny sets out to uncover the truth behind Enoch's death. But the deeper he digs, the stranger things become. Dark forces are gathering around Eddystone, his family's secrets are beginning to surface, and Danny's newly awakened psychic abilities may be the very thing that saves him-or destroys him.
Because whatever killed his uncle is hunting Danny next.
And it may have met its match.
The Goblin's Winter is a dark, bloody, and occasionally whimsical supernatural horror novel about family secrets, psychic abilities, friendship, monsters, and the dangerous things waiting just beyond the edge of the ordinary.
Written for adults but steeped in the spirit of old-school spooky adventure, Witchbone is for readers who grew up on Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Dark Crystal, The Goonies, and Coraline-and never stopped loving stories where ordinary children stumble into extraordinary darkness.
Welcome to Eddystone. Winter is only the beginning.
"A riveting great read and the first volume of author Alex Norton's new 'Witchbone' series, "The Goblin's Winter" showcases a master of the fantasy action/adventure novel who has a genuine flair for originality and a thoroughly reader engaging narrative storytelling style. Unreservedly recommended..." - Midwest Book ReviewCustomer Reviews
