WATTYS 2021 WINNER - PARANORMAL

Olivia Porter is well acquainted with death- or so she thought. 

With the passing of her only friend, she's given more than she bargained for when the estranged and mysterious Lee Noble enters her life.

Lee brings with him more than his bad attitude and mysterious past. He's Olivia's gateway to a dark and terrifying underworld she never knew existed. The Edifice; a dimension parallel to their own, separated for a very good reason.

It's a world of magic, where warlocks, fiends and monsters walk the streets in  strained coexistence. Stranded in a foreign land at the mercy of its citizens, Olivia has no choice but to accept the help of Otis- a deity masquerading as a fickle young man.

With seven days to escape the consequences of the deity's contract, Olivia's humanity is on a perilous countdown. Otis promises her the world if she can hold out- while Lee will sacrifice anything to see her gone. 

Because Otis's gift to her is worth dying for... and all of the Edifice knows it.

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.
