Competition: Win Finn Fancy Necromancy
Geek Native’s review of Finn Fancy Necromancy described the book as a mix of comedy and darkness.

Magic of Myths: Faerie was launched at the Birmingham Comics Festival this year and is by the same team behind Magic of Myths. The Faerie story is a fantasy based, roughly, on some of the characters from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream – and not all of them are happy with the play. Robin, […]
