Book Overview
"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 Review
For fans of Christina Henry, Neil Gaiman, Ray Bradbury, and Joe Hill, dive into the strange and dark adventures of Danny Hallow in Vol. 1 of Witchbone, a modern horror-fantasy series.
Deadly cold weather. Strange tracks in the snow. Unexplained disappearances. Enoch Wildwood, local eccentric, torn to pieces on his own back lawn.
The town of Eddystone is having a rough winter. Eleven-year-old Danny Hallow, visiting Eddystone for the reading of his Uncle Enoch's will, is thrown into the middle of the small town's misfortunes. He inherits the entire (and very questionable) legacy of his family, including an ancient house with an apparent life of its own, an ancestry filled with dark secrets, and the possibility that his latent psychic abilities could lead him down a path of adventure and friendship...or drive him to madness and death. Danny becomes determined to track down and destroy the cause of Eddystone's troubles, only to discover those troubles are equally determined to destroy him. The outcome will depend upon who turns out to be the more dangerous monster - the forces behind his uncle's death, or Danny himself. The Goblin's Winter is an imaginative, bloody-good modern fairy tale that only gets darker and weirder as it twists along.Not written for young children, the Witchbone series is for readers of fantasy fiction who don't shy away from unsettling ideas and dark subjects, for those who read Something Wicked This Way Comes and watched The Goonies, Coraline, and the Dark Crystal, people who had Stephen King on their bookshelves at age ten and love a good Halloween vibe all year 'round.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: This book contains some profanity and depictions of horror, violence, and stressful situations involving children.
