*Featured in the Creepy Camping Tales reading list for the Blair Witch movie!* What if you could steal the final moments from the dying? What if you had the darkest secret, but couldn't think what it might be? What if you entered the forest in the deep of the night. Who is the melting man? And are your neighbours really whom they appear to be? So many questions. To find the answers, you must enter a darker place. Thirteen stories. Thirteen poems. Thirteen more doorways.

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

Chrissy Barker returns to her home town after 34 years away, unsure whether she caused the death of her best friend in 1973. A dark tale of oppressive friendship and the fallibility of memory. Chrissy does not remember the past or, if she does, it's with a photographer's eye - she understands the fallacy. Human lives are albums of brief snapshots - perceptions - with no coherent links. Back in her hometown for the first time in 34 years, she aims to liquidate her inheritance rapidly and leave. She has no reason to stay. Thoughts of childhood & youth, the only man she ever loved, and a drunken argument with her closest friend in 1973 have been purposefully neglected since she ran away. But the past returns, unbidden and cloudy, when she re-encounters elderly neighbour, Alice, and her only other childhood friend, Marion. Neither seems able or willing to fill in the gaps. Each appears to hold a different snapshot album of her life. When she discovers Spencer, the nihilistic lover she assumed dead, alive and producing commercial art for tourists, she must question beliefs which have driven her for 34 years. Memories of the events leading up to Pat's death will need to be recovered if she’s to find out what it is she's been running away from all those years.

Schizophrenic. Bipolar. Paralysed. Why? Because of him; because of them. Ann Arroyo, wasn't always like this, she wasn't always broken. He did it.

Olivia is the only sane person in her family…well relatively speaking. When the death of her grandfather sparks chaos in her family, it seems like only she can fix everything. But what to tackle first? Her crazy grandmother intent on joining a circus as a fortune teller, her ditsy cousin who is currently dating the enemy, the enemy (former best friend) who believes her family kills people for a living, or the mysterious man following her around? Yeah, so that last one should probably take priority... ******** [Cover drawn by Alondra/Whatsthatahorse] [Currently Editing]
