Book description
'I fear nobody. But my enemies fear me . . . Without ruthlessness
and savagery I would not survive even a week of the life I lead. I
am the witch assassin of the Malkin clan.'
Meet Grimalkin, the fearsome witch assassin, and find out how she
came to take the role she now holds.
This exclusive digital short story set in the world of Joseph
Delaney's best-selling series The Wardstone Chronicles
first appeared in the spine-tingling collection The Spook's
Stories: Witches. Now available separately for the first time,
and including a preview of the first chapter of I Am Grimalkin,
this is perfect for existing fans and newcomers alike. The only
question is, are you brave enough . . .
Joseph Delaney is a retired English teacher living in Lancashire.
He has three children and seven grandchildren and is a wonderful
public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events.
His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a
boggart called the Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step
of a house near the church.
Most of the places in the Spook's books are based on real places in
Lancashire. And the inspiration behind the stories often comes from
local ghost stories and legends.
The Spook's Apprentice, The Spook's Curse,
The Spook's Secret and The Spook's Sacrifice have all
been shortlisted for the Lancashire children's Book for the Year
Award. The Spook's Apprentice is the winner of both the Sefton
Book Award and the Hampshire Book Award.
