The Wordsmiths

$16.99

The Wordsmiths is a speculative thriller wrapped around eight additional pieces of short fiction. The characters in the novel tell each other stories and you, the reader, get to be part of their group! Each story told is embedded in the narrative of the novel, and is a separate short story written by a different author.

Fans of Are You Afraid of the Dark and The Midnight Club will love this gripping volume of nine tales in one!

Praise for The Wordsmiths from Goodreads:

A collection of compelling, spooky stories that all come together to weave a tale of complicated friendships, magic and mystery. With a unique approach to storytelling, The Wordsmiths will keep you intrigued to the very end.

***

The concept of this book is quite creative; the main tale is tied together by several short stories. There is an element of mild spookiness and there is a great mystery that has to be solved. I was surprised by the outcome and it was something I would not have guessed. I read this book in two sittings because it was that good!

***

Loved this book! It was a page turner with a very unexpected twist I didn’t see coming.

Description

Memories are the ghosts that haunt us.

Kat should know. Twenty years have passed since a tragic death drove her away from her closest friends, a ragtag group of magic-wielding storytellers. The death of a beloved teacher draws her back to her hometown, and the Wordsmiths gather for one last round of stories.

They awaken the familiar old magic, and along with it, the rules they had once broken. Their stories cannot stop.

The Wordsmiths’ reunion turns sinister when the secrets of their stories are threatened. Kat must work together with her former friends and figure out who she can trust, before tragedy strikes again.

The Wordsmiths is both a speculative thriller novel and an anthology of scary short stories. Within the narrative of the novel, the stories told by the characters are separate pieces of short fiction, written by authors across the United States, Canada, and the UK. The book can be read cover-to-cover, or the short fiction can be enjoyed separately from the novel.
