MORNINGWOOD
KIT COX
Beneath the streets of trendy 60's London an old and very cold war is about to bubble to the surface. Ancient feuds between creatures long regarded as myth threaten to spill back into the world of humans.
Is it finally time for the Guardian of the early morning woods to step out of retirement?
A ritual killing leads to a roller-coaster world of espionage, brutal scooter gangs and mythical worlds as Mulberry Gale, investigator with a point to prove, decides to call in a favour from one of the greatest protectors of humanity.
Can Professor Early Morningwood (yes, he's fully aware) throw off the shackles of his self-imposed exile and save not just one but two worlds from the machinations of an old foe?
From the sleepy spires of Oxford to the trendy streets of Sixties London and out into the wilds of Scotland...
It's time to find out if this Old Goat is a myth or a legend.
SMOKE AND MIRRORS
The Adventures of Benjamin Gaul
KIT COX
ISBN-10: 1909984949 ISBN-13: 978-1909984943 - PAPERBACK/KINDLE- BOOK GUILD PUBLISHING
"The Monster Hunter" introduced us to the epic journey of one nineteenth century lad, from the tea plantations of Ceylon to the orchard-strewn countryside of Kent, as he discovered along the way that books hold both key to, and defence from, the very real monsters in the shadows.
"Smoke and Mirrors" carries on Bens journey and sees the lad coming to terms with the legacy of his Monster Hunting, as he is whisked by a deadly huntress from the Kentish countryside to the choking smoke of industrial Manchester, where an unlikely plague of ancient horrors await.
Dealing once again with the growing awareness of a mixed-race boy in a hostile environment, "Smoke and Mirrors" introduces some of the best naturalising of supernatural creatures ever put into print. A true Gothic Horror style, yet still suitable for a young adult audience.
