The Spook's Stories: Grimalkin's Tale

'I fear nobody. But my enemies fear me . . . Without ruthlessness and savagery I would not survive even a week of the life I lead. I am the witch assassin of the Malkin clan.'

Meet Grimalkin, the fearsome witch assassin, and find out how she came to take the role she now holds.

Now available separately for the first time, and including a preview of the first chapter of I Am Grimalkin, this is perfect for existing fans and newcomers alike. The only question is, are you brave enough . . .
