Pendulum Days: Afraid: Book I
Avoiding the school bullies was Zach’s main objective when heading home after one particularly crummy day at school. That, and keeping a safe distance from the creepy, and no doubt haunted, Lore House on Henley Avenue. However, after being pursued by a demon dog and a mysterious figure in the rain, Zach falls from a tree breaking his leg, leaving him to question what happened to him within the blank period of time.
To help him through his convalescence, his best friend Grace brings him over an old ornate book she recently found in her attic. ‘Fractured Fairytales’ seems aptly titled to Zach while he recovers his broken bones, and the stories the book contains lead him into adventures he never could have imagined.
What Zach doesn't know just yet, is just how much of a part he will play in these seemingly harmless fairy tales.
His world begins to blur when the monsters and myths within the pages, take on those that inhabit his neighbourhood, and it’s up to himself and Grace to save his life from becoming another turn of a page.
Part one of the Pendulum Days series. Book – I (Afraid).
