Short film: Isolated

Competition: Win Finn Fancy Necromancy
Geek Native’s review of Finn Fancy Necromancy described the book as a mix of comedy and darkness. It’s a comedy, yes, but it’s also a book about a necromancer wrongly (probably) sent to an especially hellish jail for a crime he did not commit.
