The Dreadful Demise of Jake Walton
Just when you think you're all alone in the world, you find a band of misfits more miserable than yourself. And then you wish you truly were alone...
Jake always yearned for excitement and adventure. But when his family moves to the mysterious village of Whetchilowe Cleave, he could never have imagined the nightmarish world he was to enter. For unbeknownst to him, he bears a sinister secret, branding him an unwelcome outsider and which implicates him in a horrific crime committed centuries before his birth.
With the world determined to twist his unhappy state into ever worsening misery, Jake must dig deep. He must draw upon hitherto unknown reserves of wit and cunning to overcome his current reality. And with the help of his newfound fellow wretches, Jake might just find the strength within to attain freedom for them all.
