Daker also sees memories of other lives he's lived or will live and realizes he is one of many incarnations of the Eternal Champion, a key figure in the mythology of Michael Moorcock's multiverse. Daker realizes he is the reincarnation of the warrior Erekosë and is now being called to assume that identity again by the people he once served. In the story, John Daker, an ordinary man in the 20th century, is pulled through time and space to the tomb of Erekosë, a long-dead hero of a version of Earth that may be the distant past or distant future. The sequel novels are Phoenix in Obsidian (1970), also published as The Silver Warriors, and The Dragon in the Sword (1987). The Eternal Champion is the first in a trilogy of novels known as the Erekosë series (though the lead character adopts other identities in subsequent novels). Along with expanding the original story, the novel make some minor changes to narration and scenes, and also includes references to other short stories by Michael Moorcock. ![]() The novella was first published in the anthology magazine Science Fantasy #53 in 1962. ![]() First published in 1970, it is an expanded version of a novella of the same title that introduced the hero known as both John Daker and Erekosë.

As the novel gets moving, we learn that Jacob has in fact spent many years visiting the Mirrorworld, a place where he has made friends and enemies, worked, fought, killed and fallen in love. Into this world step Jacob and Will, not brothers Grimm but brothers Reckless, following their father, John Reckless, who passed through a mirror in his study long ago and disappeared. They are a species most notable for having stone for skin, which comes in many semi-precious varieties – a rather beautiful idea. And it's not just the beings we're familiar with – she also does the same with her own creations, notably the Goyl, a humanoid race who provide the necessary strand of cold-blooded menace in the book. Talking of capitalisation, I should really have given capitals to all the fantasy-world denizens listed above because that's what Funke has done, as if trying to ascribe nationalities to them. ![]() Fantasy of this nature (with a very capital F) is Marmite stuff, and there's little that can be done to soften the impact if you're not a Fan. ![]() I apologise for being so blunt but there's no easy way to break this kind of news. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “….I want you by my side and no one else’s.

Ruthless People was well paced, the POV’s timely executed, the action and drama had my heart thumping in places, the scorching torrid and passionate sexual chemistry between Mel and Liam had me fanning myself and I even managed shed a tear or two. “You’re a sex-crazed, closet smoker, who sells dope, crack, and smack for a living.” Mel “My parents made it work, and we turned out fine.” Liam You’ve left me needing my next ruthless fix RIGHT NOW!!!

The street was initially named after the Fier family, but its spelling changed after rumors spread that the family had been cursed during the Puritan era. Fear Street gets its name from a street of the same name in Shadyside, the site of many of the series’ horrors. Many of the plots end in violence, death, and despair, and are highly graphic in nature. The books traverse the genres of fantasy, horror, murder mystery, suspense, and detective fiction, often including elements of multiple genres in a given plot. In each of its installments, a lone protagonist or group of friends, all ordinary teenagers by any measure, run into evildoers, often but not always supernatural. Fear Street takes place entirely in a fictional city called Shadyside in the 1980s and 1990s. ![]() ![]() More mature in content than its spinoff (or Stine’s most well-known series, Goosebumps), Fear Street follows a number of teenagers who befall grim fates in suburban environments while they negotiate the unique uncertainties and anxieties of adolescence.

No wait – it was Friday – Friday 26th. ![]() I stood under the shower with the water pounding on my aching head and tried to work out what to do. Three hang-ups, two sweary messages telling me to “get my fucking arse in gear,” and one text from my mobile provider reminding me that I need to get the call bar lifted to run up any further credit. I listened, blearily, to the answerphone messages while the shower heated up and sure enough, they were.
