In the quiet corridors of a seemingly ordinary school, Angel faces the aftermath of a day that defies the boundaries of reality. As the clock strikes 4:30 PM, a routine assignment becomes the epicenter of chaos. Unaware and caught in a moment of unexpected slumber, Angel awakens to an otherworldly storm, discovering that the world around them has transformed into a nightmare.

Miss Chili Pepper, the enigmatic teacher, has set an assignment with consequences beyond comprehension. With a late submission, Angel faces a year-long sentence standing outside the classroom. Little do they know that this is just the beginning. As the evening unfolds, the school morphs into a surreal battleground where shadowy figures, neither human nor beast, lurk in the dimly lit hallways.

Racing against time, Angel, accompanied by a few friends, finds themselves entangled in a mysterious web of events. Strange noises, echoing gunshots, and ominous silhouettes push them to the edge. When two supposed police officers issue a dire warning, the line between nightmare and reality blurs.

The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Angel, now desperate to escape, discovers a truth more chilling than the horrors within the school walls. With every step toward the exit, the once familiar faces outside wear an unsettling gaze, as if hungering for something beyond comprehension.

As the night deepens, Angel's journey home becomes a surreal odyssey, leaving them questioning the fabric of reality. "Nightmare Alchemy" is a gripping tale that explores the thin veil between dreams and reality, unraveling a tapestry of fear, mystery, and the unknown. Will Angel escape the clutches of this unearthly nightmare, or is there no waking from the twisted dreamscape that has become their reality?

59 parts Complete

Jessica "Ike" Wordsworth can dive into books, but she isn't prepared for a monster - and a ruthless murderer killing her tourists. Ike is fighting the aftermath of a nasty divorce that left her husband in custody of her homesitting business - and her beloved cats. With nothing but a turquoise construction trailer to call her home, Ike invests her last quid and becomes partner in a tour company specialising in bespoke trips for book-lovers. When the guide hired to take on the first tour drops out at the last minute, Ike has to take over and steer her guests towards the cradle of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". All to soon she realises there truly are monsters on the loose, one of them a ruthless killer who's targetting her tourists. To unearth the truth, Ike will have to cooperate with her moronic partner, Gary Sands, 13th Baron of Nettlehole and founder of LiteraTours. When they don't succeed in stopping the killer, she realises she'll have to take the plunge and draw on some rather unusual skills her family has been hiding from the world . . . "Frankenstein's Guide" is the first instalment in the "LiteraTours Cozy Mystery series". [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ren T
