Fiction, Fantasy & magical realism (Children's / Teenage)
A curse demon is after Fish Jones: He is armed with three hundred years experience and a curse from beyond the grave. Where is there for Fish to run?
Meet Grimshaw and Lampwick the Robber, a curse demon and his master, stuck in Limbo and getting on each others nerves. Grimshaw hasn't had a chance to unleash any destruction in the Real World since Lampwick's death bed curses years ago.
When Lampwick has an unexpected opportunity to curse a whole new set of humans, Grimshaw can't believe his luck!
There is one young boy on Grimshaw's list: Fish Jones. But Fish has unworldly talents of his own. Unlike other humans, he can see Grimshaw. And as Grimshaw's destructive inventiveness intensifies, it is matched by Fish's ability to escape. Why is Fish able to avoid the curse? And when Grimshaw plans to wreak the ultimate destruction, not just on Fish, but on the world, will young Jones' power be enough to stop him?
Full of humour and wild imagination, KILL FISH JONES is a devilishly good read.
