When Fear Is Not Afraid (eBook, ePUB)

The fourth Velvet Paw of Asquith Novel and the first book in the Morigan Tetralogy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Reality is breaking, verse is to blame, and Oscar Teabag-Dooven is absolutely the wrong cat to fix it.

Oscar never meant to get tangled in a plot involving forbidden vaults, exploding cafés and an ex-poet turned reality-warping megalomaniac. But here he is, paws-deep in syllables and sabotage, trying to stop a transformation that could obliterate everything.

Joined by Tabby Miss Cakes, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, they become the most unlikely duo to save reality. As powerful poets conspire to re-scribe the world itself, they're the only hope against a conspiracy that threatens to plunge civilization into an Armageddon that makes Bedlam of the second Dooven book look like a good way to cook eggs.

Hilariously deadpan, wildly inventive and threaded with unexpected poignancy, When Fear Is Not Afraid launches the Velvet Paw of Asquith's Morigan Tetralogy with flair, fire and masses of confusion.

Welcome back to the New Fable fiction genre, where fluffy just got even dangerouser.

"Finally, a reason to remain illiterate. Much like the author, I suspect." - Damian Smith-Meyers, Accountant, Billiot Financial.

"What's the difference between Corfield and Byron? Pretty much everything." - Simon Davidson, Byronian Scholar.

"Corfield is a dreamer of everything and a master of nothing." - Phillip P. Burgess, Professor of Anatomy, UAMS.

Autorenporträt

Thomas Corfield was born in London several years ago, definitely before last Thursday. This was a good year for all concerned, and for him in particular, because without it, later years would mean little. He owes a lot to that first year and now lives because of it in undisclosed locations after successfully absconding from probation. Although he finds making friends difficult, this is only because no one likes him, including his mother, who didn't bother giving him a name until he was nine. His solicitor describes him as having an allergy to apostrophes and an aversion to punctuation that borders on pathological, which makes the popularity of his books all the more remarkable-at least it would if there was any. But there isn't, so it doesn't. Specialising in New Fable and dark humour, his books have spawned a cult series and two best-sellers, winning the Huffington Waste Paper Prize and a nomination for the Kudos Fiction Award. His narrated Cinematic Audiobooks have received acclaim from both sides of the Atlantic, cultivating an audience that positively affects his self-esteem. He was recently interviewed in Joomag's Meals of Food magazine, which didn't help anyone. He also has a PhD in Forensic Odontology, which, on occasion, has.
