Summary
“Well, I could hardly leave him at home.” Mary says, snapping her fingers. “He could—Gerard, come over here—get into any number of unpleasant artefacts. I don’t fancy my son being eaten by a book before he can even understand what they are.”
“I’ll have you know there are many artefacts here that could eat him.” Gertrude says dryly.

Summary
Jecka was still hard at work on her own cigarette, squeezing it tightly between her lips as she gritted her teeth. “Would you stop saying that?”
“Why?” Nicole asked as she turned to look up at the freshly painted night sky above, the dying embers of orange slipping over the horizon as the dark blue overpowered them, the gray clouds blending seamlessly into the indigo.
“Because…” Jecka muttered as she turned to shift her full glance towards Nicole. Into those eyes that usually appeared as sparkling sapphires. “Whenever you say that, it doesn’t sound like you’re joking.
Nicole paused for a moment, before tearing her eyes off of the darkened sky above and down into the amber pools staring back at her. “Yeah,” she eventually said. “It’s because I’m not.”

Summary
When Jane discovers Harry Styles was in a band, she beams. When she finds out Simon Cowell was rude to this band, she decides he must pay.
The only logical response is dragging her brother all the way to London to audition for Britain's Got Talent as magicians when they're really just using their telekinetic powers. Will thinks it's insane but he is also going along with it anyway because that's what siblings do.
Featuring: aggressive British accents, an alarming number of singers, Ant and Dec being national treasures, and Will Byers accidentally roasting Simon Cowell on live television.
(They have superpowers. They've fought monsters. How hard can a talent show be?)

Summary
Crawford stilled his hands and pierced Will with another look. “I am going to put my faith in you. Can I trust you, Will?”
Will licked his dry lips. “You will have to be more specific, Headmaster.”
Crawford dropped his head into his hands and exhaled audibly. “I have secured a post for you in Fairbow. You are to be employed at Morthall Manor by a Dr. Hannibal Lecter, one of Sulwell’s most generous benefactors, as private tutor to his twelve-year-old daughter."
***
Will Graham was fortunate beyond belief to have received a scholarship to the illustrious Sulwell School, but his time as a student is drawing to a close. Upon his eighteenth birthday, he will graduate, and be cast out into the world with no connections and no prospects. When he receives an offer to work for the mysterious Dr. Lecter as tutor to his daughter, Abigail, Will wonders whether this windfall is too good to be true. He leaves behind everything he has ever known to move to Morthall Manor, where he finds much more than he ever dared to dream.
A Hannigram gothic romance inspired by Jane Eyre.
