1977. An ancient bottle. A strange man. A race to save the life of a twelve year old schoolboy.
Melly and Skinny, two twelve year old schoolboys, break into an abandoned and derelict vicarage. They find an ancient bottle that contains a strange looking liquid. Melly insists on taking it home and is later compelled to take a sip of the liquid that seems to have been designed to taste just right for twelve year old schoolboys.
Mayhem follows with Melly getting into trouble at school and much more serious trouble outside of school when Skinny finds the head of a neighbour’s dog in Melly’s house. What terrible forces have the boys unleashed? Who is the mysterious Mr Quirk? Will Skinny be in time to save his friend from the clutches of unthinkable evil? What is Melly turning into?
This is a page-turning roller coaster of a novel for 10 to 12 year olds. It is far too terrifying for younger readers so be warned. A literary agent gave this to the 8 year old son of a friend of his and it kept him awake for months with night after night of terrifying nightmares. However, older children will love this book. It is a chilling horror story that will appeal to fans of Stephen King.

The Clever Detective Boxed Set 2 (A Fairy Tale Romance): Stories 1-5
Emerging from the long shadow cast by his formidable father, Harold Godwineson showed himself to be a worthy successor to the Earldom of Wessex. In the following twelve years, he became the King's most trusted advisor, practically taking the reins of government into his own hands. And on Edward the Confessor's death, Harold Godwineson mounted the throne—the first king of England not of royal blood. Yet Harold was only a man, and his rise in fortune was not blameless. Like any person aspiring to power, he made choices he wasn't particularly proud of. Unfortunately, those closest to him sometimes paid the price of his fame.
This is a story of Godwine's family as told from the viewpoint of Harold and his younger brothers. Queen Editha, known for her Vita Ædwardi Regis, originally commissioned a work to memorialize the deeds of her family, but after the Conquest historians tell us she abandoned this project and concentrated on her husband, the less dangerous subject. In THE SONS OF GODWINE and FATAL RIVALRY, I am telling the story as it might have survived had she collected and passed on the memoirs of her tragic brothers.
This book is part two of The Last Great Saxon Earls series. Book one, GODWINE KINGMAKER, depicted the rise and fall of the first Earl of Wessex who came to power under Canute and rose to preeminence at the beginning of Edward the Confessor's reign. Unfortunately, Godwine's misguided efforts to champion his eldest son Swegn recoiled on the whole family, contributing to their outlawry and Queen Editha's disgrace. Their exile only lasted one year and they returned victorious to London, though it was obvious that Harold's career was just beginning as his father's journey was coming to an end.
Harold's siblings were all overshadowed by their famous brother; in their memoirs we see remarks tinged sometimes with admiration, sometimes with skepticism, and in Tostig's case, with jealousy. We see a Harold who is ambitious, self-assured, sometimes egocentric, imperfect, yet heroic. His own story is all about Harold, but his brothers see things a little differently. Throughout, their observations are purely subjective, and witnessing events through their eyes gives us an insider’s perspective.
Harold was his mother's favorite, confident enough to rise above petty sibling rivalry but Tostig, next in line, was not so lucky. Harold would have been surprised by Tostig's vindictiveness, if he had ever given his brother a second thought. And that was the problem. Tostig's love/hate relationship with Harold would eventually destroy everything they worked for, leaving the country open to foreign conquest. This subplot comes to a crisis in book three of the series, FATAL RIVALRY.
This book has received an Indie B.R.A.G. Medallion!
