More of what I’ve been reading recently…
THE EYRE AFFAIR - Jasper Fforde

THE WITCHES - Roald Dahl
I love re-reading Roald Dahls’s books from time to time - partly to remind me just how great children’s novels can be, and partly just for a fast, fun read! the Witches is one I missed out as a child, for some reason, [...]

Issue one can be found here. Feel free to send it out to [...]

I’ve posted a shorter version of the second Scream Street trailer here - for those who want to bypass the talking and get straight to the werewolf transformation!
