Scorpion Falls is a gripping YA chiller set in a spooky and claustrophobic, mining town called, you guessed it, Scorpion Falls. The name of the town is not accidental: this story is constructed with a real sting in the tale and a jolt at the end of every chapter. 

While always an exciting, page-turning ride, the novel is thematically underpinned and enriched by several key classic texts which provided inspiration. Among those texts are the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur, the legend of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. And, as with those key inspirations, Scorpion Fall's  protagonist, Theo, undergoes a dizzying mental and physical ordeal before, finally, facing down his worst fears.

​
​A darkly comedic, quasi-supernatural thriller which, while always entertaining, contains themes of alienation, racism, identity and mortality.
