Genres: YA Dark Fantasy; YA Horror

Synopsis

In that extraordinary time between childhood and adulthood are those years that most parents dread; The Teenage Years. Hormones rage, personalities can become belligerent, lives are lived in partial secrecy as their brains undergo re-wiring and their bodies shoot out in all sorts of places.

How then to find stories they can engage with? There’s an easy answer. The same way we as adults engage. Great stories told by great authors.

In this volume we can tick both boxes with the bonus that the stories are actually about them.

Our classic authors including Marjorie Bowen, Gustav Meyrink, Kenneth Grahame, Thomas Hardy and many others bring all facets of this genre into needle-sharp focus.
