"Give him back" The quiet seconds that fallow grow defining as I glare up at him. Growing angrier I shout again "Give him to me." The man at the top of the stairs exudes so much power I struggle to keep standing. I thinks he is smerking at me but its hard to tell from down here. With an eye brow raised and his chin now in his palm he finally responds. "Ah, and what will you give me if I do" "Anything" In a flash a shadowed hand has my wrist in a vice and im pulled forward in to the man, a growled response whispers in my ear "Anything?!" "Anything, just give him back to me" Laughing low he turns his head to look down into my eyes "Then all of you I shall have." ........ What happens when the world we know falls away? And the fairy creatures we read about as children start infesting everything around us. Wrapping reality into a dystopian dead land full of magic, mischief and nightmares. Not only will Rose have to survive in the new world but she will have to do so while holding the hand of her little brother. At the end of the day nothing matters to Rose more then the life of her little brother, not even her own life. For fans of "the labrynth" with David Bowie who wished for something just a tad darker with spice.

**Featured on DARK FANTASY and ADULT FICTION reading lists** WARNING: EATING OR DRINKING WHILE READING THIS STORY IS HIGHLY INADVISABLE. Once Upon A Time, Good Omens, Monty Python, and Arrested Development had a back-alley three-way and birthed a fairytale. Gerald wasn't supposed to be stuck living seven centuries in the future. He definitely wasn't supposed to be "mentoring" The Dark Lord's progeny in the hopes that she would decide to save the world rather than destroy it. In fact, he wasn't even supposed to be named Gerald (the name of every other male in his family for three hundred years), because everyone assumed a weak-chinned, balding, forgettable man, who was just a magician, could never be who Geraldo The Foreshadower prophesied. But that's what assuming gets you, and here he was saddled with a fate he never asked for, in a time he didn't know, surrounded by people he didn't want to like, and he was out of Firewine AGAIN! The Dark Heir is a darkly satirical tale of assumptions, anti-heroes, and apocalypses, where the road to hell is actually a themed water-park slide covered in slightly less urine than a real one. It drops literary and film references faster than an NYC socialite drops names, and promises endless laughs - including, but not limited to, sad chuckles, guffaws, uncontrollable giggles at inappropriate moments, brays, barks, cackles, snorts, cachinnations, and the occasional howl (though that may be the Welsh Werewolves showing up unannounced). Consider yourself warned... Reviews: "Completely and adorably bonkers," says @floranocturna "Hilarious in every way. Even when I cringed, I laughed," says @LadySapphire2018 Winner of The Trident Awards
