Five authors. Twelve months. Five thrilling novels.
The Penny & Plot Collective is a group of up-and-coming authors inspired by the penny dreadfuls of old, working together to bring serialized fiction back into popularity.
Each month for a year, readers will be drawn into five fantastical worlds, ending with a special collection of five novels ranging in genre from high-fantasy adventure to dark psychological thriller. Need more convincing? Check out the quotes below.
