Lovely Creatures,
by K.T Bryski
Lovely Creatures is a journey across a wasteland within the belly of a wooden whale toward a distant, mythical river, by Sunburst, Eugie, and Aurora award finalist KT Bryski.
Doomsday Dot will wake the day the world ends.
That’s what everyone says, yours truly included.
Bryony’s been searching for her big sister for ten years and change, and the trail finally leads her to Mr. Once-Upon-a-Time’s traveling show. There’s a wolf who’ll serve you tea, a lady who’s sometimes a swan, and Bryony’s sister sound asleep in a glass casket. All of them, rolling through the wasteland in a giant wooden Whale.
The Whale’s important, you’ll see.
But Bryony’s not the only one on the hunt. Everyone on the Whale is running from something. And whether Bryony can wake her sister before they’re caught, well, only the Devil herself knows.
The Devil’s important as well. You’ll see that, too.
Get yours!
