Willow's dad has disappeared: stolen by foxes in the night. To find
him, Willow must enter the secret world of the Forest. There she
will speak with wolves and find the magical Tower where the foxes
are ruled by their silver tongued leader, Reynard. In the Tower,
Willow sees wonders: statues walking the streets, spires reaching
to the stars, and a lion who wants to be king. But disaster is
near. The magic is running out and soon the Tower will fall. Can
Willow save her dad and find a way out of the Fox's Tower?

I don't recall if I saw my first gunman in my childhood nightmares
or on my childhood streets. There were plenty in both and they
looked very much like each other. So begins Reggie
Chamberlain-King's introduction to The Black Dreams, a thrilling
and compelling collection of specially commissioned stories that
explore the emotional geography of growing up and living in
Northern Ireland. The fourteen stories gathered here criss-cross
coast, border and city as they map a 'strange' territory of
in-between states and unstable realities in which understanding is
unreliable. Obsessions, death and rebirth, violence, sexuality,
retribution and apocalypse are all part of the rich fabric of The
Black Dreams. Bringing together some of Northern Ireland's finest
writers, along with some of the best new talents, The Black Dreams
celebrates and extends the rich tradition of the weird, surreal and
dream-like in Northern Irish writing. It is also a powerful act of
imagining and storytelling - a vibrant, vivid and exhilarating
exploration of a world we cannot, or choose not, to see.

The Man Booker-longlisted novel explores how each of us conjures up
our own city. Every city is made of stories: stories that meet and
diverge, stories of the commonplace and the strange, of love and
crime, of ghosts and monsters. The iridescent, Man Booker
longlisted Communion Town is reminiscent of David Mitchell's
Ghostwritten and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, it is the story
of a place that never looks the same way twice: a place imagined
anew by each citizen who walks through the changing streets among
voices half-heard, signs half-glimpsed and desires
half-acknowledged. This is the story of a city.
The Man Booker longlisted Communion Town reveals the shadows and
sinister inhabitants of a city that never appears the same way
twice. On crowded streets, in the town squares and half-empty tower
blocks, the lonely and lost try to make a connection. A weary
gumshoe pounds the reeking sidewalks, seeking someone he knows he
will never find. Violence loiters in blind alleys, eager to embrace
the unsuspecting and the reckless. Lovers are doomed to follow
treacherous paths that were laid long before they first met. This
city is no ordinary place. Here, the underworld has surfaced;
dreams melt into reality and memories are imagined before they are
lived. Ghosts and monsters, refugees and travellers - the voices of
Communion Town clamour to tell the stories of the city, stories
that must be heard to be believed.
