Description

A haunting fable from the acclaimed author of The Gathering and Green Monkey Dreams.

After a long, long moment, the sound faded, though the air seemed still to throb with the awful anguish of it."What was that?" he whispered.

One wakeful night in the aftermath of his mother's death, Jack enters a land devoid of colour or scent. Here he meets the tragic laughing beast and Alice, a strange girl with a secret.

Will Jack escape before the terrifying wolves find him? Or is he destined to be trapped in the Greylands forever?

Only the cats know...
