Step into a world where the royal family are terrifying fey who will cut out your heart with no warning, a world where tweens manifest super powers, ghosts live among us and blood rituals are as normal as going to the supermarket. A shoebox found in the attic of a brand new house contains a collection of articles and pieces from a lifestyle magazine.

Compiled here for ease of reading in book form, these clippings reveal a world very like our own, but with large and marked differences as well. This collection began as a series of articles on Patreon. They are collected here along with horoscopes, personality quizzes and beloved advice column Question Cressida. It’s not exactly a novel, it’s not exactly a magazine. It’s a step into another world.
