Description
Timely reissue of the classic fantasy trilogy by Robin Jarvis, following on from the landmark publication of DANCING JAX, his first novel in a decade.
Dare to enter the Wyrd Museum, where fantasy meets the seriously sinister...
In a grimy alley in the East End of London stands the Wyrd Museum, cared for by the strange Webster sisters - and scene of even stranger events...
Wandering through the museum, Neil Chapman, son of the new caretaker, discovers it is a sinister place crammed with secrets both dark and deadly. Forced to journey back to the past, he finds himself pitted against an ancient and terrifying evil, something which is growing stronger as it feeds on the destruction around it.
