Picked up this lush-looking edition from the charity shop a while ago, thought now was the best time to get stuck in with October rapidly approaching. Dracula has wed Queen Victoria, London is teeming with vampires, and there's a serial killer on the loose. Anno Dracula by @annodracula.bsky.social

Next #onsubmission, my MG animal fantasy: LILYMOUSE. Lilymouse should be content working as a cleaner and daydreaming of marriage. Instead she daydreams of swordfights and revenge. When she saves the Frog Prince from an owl attack, he gives her a life-changing offer: to train as his knight #kidlitUK

My MG horror #onsubmission: THE NESTING ROOM.
Wild dark magic hides on the streets of London. 12-year-old Tilly’s life is a nightmare. A servant of the shapeshifting Magpie Queen & her flock, forced to lure humans so the magpies can rob them of their shiny Trinkets – then eat them alive #kidlitUK

Wind in the Willows and Brambley Hedge had an undeniable influence on me, but I literally don't know who or where I'd be without these two series. These ones saved me.
