A razor-sharp YA crime romantasy, perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, with a touch of Rivers of London.  

Sage and Oren are sent to investigate rising tensions between witches and werewolves in the Jura Mountains.

After dealing with murder, this case feels tame – punishment for their undeniable connection.

But neither expects to find evidence of worse: traces of old magic, tortured lost souls and a deadly fog that kills everything it touches.

• The perfect sequel to All the Hidden Monsters, set in both in Downside (the magical city existing beneath Manchester) and the French mountains.  
• Think addictive slow-burn romance, twisty crime and heart-warming friendships.  

PRAISE FOR ALL THE HIDDEN MONSTERS:

‘This is the most wonderful debut novel. Anyone who’s enjoyed series like Ghosts or Being Human will absolutely love this . . .‘ BBC 4 FRONT ROW

‘I adored this book! It was the perfect blend of a twisty mystery, found family and inventive world building. Think  Legends and Lattes  with murder.‘  AMY MCCAW, AUTHOR OF  MINA AND THE UNDEAD

Nothing short of dazzling’ – Alex Turner, musician and frontman of the Arctic Monkeys
‘A big-hearted poet of boundless humour and unmistakable style’ – Kit Fan, Guardian

Dr John Cooper Clarke’s dazzling, scabrous voice has reverberated through pop culture for decades, his influence on generations of performance poets and musicians plain for all to see. In WHAT, the original ‘People’s Poet’ comes storming out of the gate with an uproarious new collection, reminding us why he is one of Britain’s most beloved writers and performers. James Brown, John F. Kennedy, Jesus Christ: nobody is safe from the punk rocker’s acerbic pen – and that’s just the first poem.

Hot on the heels of The Luckiest Guy Alive and his sprawling, encyclopaediac memoir I Wanna Be Yours, the good Doctor returns with his most trenchant collection of poems yet. Vivid and alive, with a sensitivity only a writer with a life as varied and extraordinary as Cooper Clarke’s could summon, WHAT is an exceptional collection from one of our foremost satirists.
