Familiar and Flame
The Toothday Festival is fast approaching and with it a new kind of challenge for Usther: first love. But love between rival necromancers can be dangerous.
The Toothday festival is approaching, and Usther has finally caught Symphona, the girl of her dreams. She's everything Usther could want: beautiful, powerful, cruel – the whole package. But constantly being on guard for betrayal is putting a strain on their relationship, as is Symphona's jealousy of Usther's only real friend.
And then there's the matter of the mean little cat Usther can't bring herself to kill...
On this, the unholiest day of the year, Usther will have to choose what kind of necromancer she really wants to be.
This novelette takes place after Books & Bone and contains spoilers for it.
Making Friends
Gretel's parents are worried about her. Ever since her grandmother died, she's been all alone. And besides, she has … strange interests.
But they needn't worry about her.
With her trusty cat Brush at her side and her grandmother's magic singing in her veins, Gretel is determined to go out and make a friend.
A Tombtown short story.
Tinker & Terror
Veritas is special. He's a visionary, a necromancer-on-the-rise with scientific principals. But his latest experiment is failing, and he'll need more help than his scuttling skull minion can provide.
Perhaps the travelling tinker passing through town will prove useful - he can always use another pair of hands, after all...
A Tombtown short story that takes place after Books and Bone.
Veo Corva
Veo Corva writes things and reads things and reads things out loud, and sometimes they get paid for that, which is nice because it means they can feed their cat.
They live in Wiltshire with their partner and their furry familiar and as many books as they could fit in their small flat.
They are anxious and autistic and doing just fine.
