Book One of the Whitby Witches Trilogy

The Whitby Witches

At the end of a track, on the outskirts of an ordinary coastal town, lies a dilapidated house. Once, a group of amateur ghost hunters spent the night there. Two of them don't like to speak about the experience. The third can't speak about it. He went into the basement, you see, and afterwards he screamed so hard and so long he tore his vocal cords. Now, a group of teenagers have decided to hang out in the old haunted house. Dismissing the fears of the others, their leader Jezza goes down into the basement... and comes back up with a children's book, full of strange and colourful tales of a playing-card world, a fairytale world, full of Jacks, Queens and Kings, unicorns and wolves. But the book is no fairytale. Written by Austerly Fellows, a mysterious turn-of-the-century occultist, it just might be the gateway to something terrifying...and awfully final. As the children and teenagers of the town are swept up by its terrible power, swept into its seductive world, something has begun that could usher in hell on earth. Soon, the only people standing in its way are a young boy with a sci-fi obsession, and his dad - an unassuming maths teacher called Martin... Ages" 14+

Haunted

An die, die noch immer um jeden Preis Widerstand leisten (ich weiß, ein kleiner, verstreuter Haufen existiert noch), entweder weil ihr einen eisernen Willen habt oder einfach das Glück, so wie ich immun gegen diesen Wahnsinn zu sein: Ich rate euch dringend, das Land zu verlassen! Verschwindet von da. Ihr könnt nichts mehr ausrichten. Vor einigen Monaten tauchte ein merkwürdiges altes Buch in einer britischen Kleinstadt auf und zog all jene, die es lasen, in seinen Bann. Inzwischen wurde das Buch in großem Stil veröffentlicht und ganz Großbritannien ist ihm verfallen. Diejenigen, die sich seinem Einfluss widersetzten, wurden getötet. Doch es gibt einige, auf die das Buch keine Wirkung hat. Sie werden Abtrünnlinge genannt, werden verfolgt und gejagt, auch von ihren eigenen Familien und Freunden. Dies ist ihre Geschichte. "Dancing Jax - Zwischenspiel" ist der zweite Band einer Trilogie. Der Titel des ersten Bandes lautet "Dancing Jax - Auftakt". Stephen-King-like kombiniert Robin Jarvis intelligente Schockelemente mit Fantasy und schafft so eine vor Spannung überbordende Trilogie. Die Saat des Bösen geht auf und es scheint kein Entrinnen für die gleichgeschaltete Menschheit zu geben ...
