Chris Wooding Pair by Chris Wooding

Description

Love Neil Gaiman or Philip Reeve? Read these! Cinematic, dark and tense, Chris Wooding’s gothic masterpieces take horror into new realms of delirious strangeness. Poison lives in a fairytale world where evil looks just like beauty. Nothing you see/touch/taste/see can be trusted. Now she’s off on a rescue mission unlike any fantasy quest you’ve braved before… Once you’ve rested your legs, it’s time for a walk through the crooked streets of an alternate Victorian London. Descend (if you dare) into its foggy alleys, stalked by twisted monsters and a ritual killer. Lost girl Alaizabel Cray might be the key to stopping the monsters. But only if she can escape from Stitch-Face…

• Genre-busting horror classics from a truly original writer

• Full of wild invention and gruesome, brooding atmosphere

• The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray won the Smarties Silver Prize

• Poison was nominated for the Carnegie Medal in 2004

“Intelligent, atmospheric and spine-tingling… breathtakingly brilliant.” Guardian

“Wooding’s explosive visual imagination knows no bounds.” The Times
