Wishhobbler

Somewhere in the damp, twisting alleyways of an alternate 19th Century slum there lives a hideous freak of nature.

Driven by poverty, Spin & her makeshift family move to the Songwynds in search of work. There they share a tiny, rat-infested room with their adoptive Ma: a ferocious wishhobbler. A monster of a mother & the mother of all monsters, the wishhobbler’s viciousness has caused fear & mayhem among the slum dwellers. Unable to hit back, her victims set their attention to Spin. An outsider wherever she goes – haunted by thugs & bullies – Spin finds a way to enter the carefully guarded, lethal world of Victorian Racing Televisions. When the wishhobbler disrupts the carefully laid plans of the Racers, Spin finds herself at the centre of a deadly confrontation. But it’s with the revelation of a centuries old Knight of the Implicate Order that things really take a turn for the worse …

Featuring over 50 stunning illustrations, this dark urban fairy tale is a must for anyone who’s ever been bored, bullied or lived with a monster.
