Book description
Something stirred in the gravelly yard beneath their window . . . A
soft slippery nuzzle, the sort of sounds you'd expect a pig to make
with its snout in a trough . . .
The small mining town of Grymm perched on the very edge of the Great
Desert is the kind of town you leave - but when Dad gets a
three-month contract in the mine there, Mina and Jacob, unwilling
stepbrother and sister, are reluctantly arriving.
From a grotesque letting agent who seems to want to eat their
baby brother, a cafe owner whose milkshakes contain actual
maggots and the horribly creepy butcher, baker and
candlestick-maker, Mina and Jacob soon realize that nothing in Grymm
is what is appears to be.
And then things get seriously weird when their baby brother
disappears - and no one seems to even notice! In Grymm, your worst
nightmares really do come true . . .
A Cockney born and bred, Keith Austin's first job involved
standing waist deep in a vat full of live eels. He quickly turned to
journalism and began an international career which has taken him from
The Sunday Times in London, via the China Daily
newspaper in Beijing, to the Sydney Morning Herald where he was
chief sub before turning to writing. He is now concentrating full time
on writing.
