BRILLIANT HOT 2013 DEBUT!!! EXCLUSIVE RARE BOOKS TIPPED AS A MODERN FANTASY LEGEND!!!

Good Afternoon!
At the start of 2013 did you hear about a mesmerising debut set to become a modern fantasy legend? Yes this book has had an epic amount of positive reviews and luckily for Doodled Books collectors we were fortunate enough to organise an exclusive scoop of signed and doodled books!
In the novel DREAMS AND SHADOWS, screenwriter and noted film critic C. Robert Cargill takes us beyond the veil, through the lives of Ewan and Colby, young men whose spirits have been enmeshed with the otherworld from a young age.
This brilliantly crafted narrative - part Neil Gaiman, part Guillermo Del Torro, part William Burroughs - follows the boys from their star-crossed adolescences to their haunted adulthoods. Cargill's tour-de-force takes us inside the Limestone Kingdom, a parallel universe where whisky-swilling genies and foul-mouthed wizards argue over the state of the metaphysical realm. Having left the spirit world and returned to the human world, Ewan and Colby discover that the creatures from this previous life have not forgotten them, and that fate can never be sidestepped.
With sensitivity and hopeful examination, Cargill illuminates a supernatural culture that all too eerily resembles our own. Set in a richly imagined and constructed world, complete with its own richly detailed history and mythology, DREAMS AND SHADOWS is a deeply engaging story about two extraordinary boys becoming men.

MAGICAL!!! SPELLBINDING!!! CAPTIVATING!!! ILLUSTRATED RARE BOOKS!!!


Today Doodled Books is very proud to present A Face Like Glass a magical and captivating signed first edition book with a huge cast of characters! You can easily envisage that every book collector in the universe will want to collect this – especially as it has been likened to Alice in Wonderland and has been published by the famous Macmillan Childrens books!
It's one of the most original and spellbinding stories you will ever come across. And in a way you can't even begin to try and compare it to anything else because it stands in a league of it's own and is so unusual and surprising that you will never guess what was going to happen from one chapter to the next. This is one of those books that will gradually creep up on you to the point that you won't be able to think about anything else.
The book starts in the underground city of Caverna where the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare - wines that can remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned, and only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair or fear - at a price. Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed . . .
Frances has signed, lined and dated 20 rare books for Doodled Books collectors. And each book has a unique illustration and is numbered 1 of 1!
It's true to say that Frances Hardinge first edition books make a great investment with prices reaching £400 on respected book collecting websites!
Have a great day!

EXCLUSIVE MARLOWE PAPERS RARE SIGNED BOOKS


Exciting news! Sceptre have published a début novel-in-verse which promises to put an end to one of the greatest literary mysteries, that of whether playwright Christopher Marlowe wrote Shakespeare's plays.
Publishing director Carole Welch bought world rights to The Marlowe Papers by Ros Barber from historical fiction specialist Rupert Heath. The book looks at the controversial life and death of Elizabethan poet, spy and heretic Marlowe, and answers the question of whether he died in a tavern brawl in 1593, or whether he lived on and wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare.
Welch described it as "one of the most unusual and exciting débuts to have crossed my desk in years," and said the work was "as vibrant, gripping and clever as a work by Marlowe himself. It's an astonishing ­achievement."
Barber has written three poetry collections, with her latest, Material, published by Anvil in 2008. Her short fiction has been published by Bloomsbury and Serpent's Tail. Infact the Marlowe Papers won the 2011 Hoffman Prize even before it was published this year in 2012. And with signed books already fetching £100 on AbeBooks this is set to be an all time classic!
Each first edition first printing has been signed and doodled by Ros Barber and they are exclusive for Doodled Books collectors!
These are the last few signed books in stock so don't miss out!

EXCLUSIVE GRAHAM JOYCE RARE BOOKS


Now for the first time at Doodled Books we have an exclusive scoop of the incredibly rare Limited Special Edition of Some Kind of Fairy Tale. And to add extra rarity the Graham Joyce has signed, lined, dated and numbered exclusive doodles for your collection!
As you probably already know Graham Joyce is a four time winner of the British Fantasy Award. He has also won the World Fantasy Award. And his new book Some Kind of Fairy Tale is a very English story. A story of woods and clearings, a story of folk tales and family histories. It is as if Neil Gaiman and Joanne Harris had written a Fairy Tale together.
The story starts on a Christmas afternoon and Peter Martin gets an unexpected phonecall from his parents, asking him to come round. It pulls him away from his wife and children and into a bewildering mystery. He arrives at his parents house and discovers that they have a visitor. His sister Tara. Not so unusual you might think, this is Christmas after all, a time when families get together. But twenty years ago Tara took a walk into the woods and never came back and as the years have gone by with no word from her the family have, unspoken, assumed that she was dead. Now she's back, tired, dirty, dishevelled, but happy and full of stories about twenty years spent travelling the world, an epic odyssey taken on a whim. But her stories don't quite hang together and once she has cleaned herself up and got some sleep it becomes apparent that the intervening years have been very kind to Tara. She really does look no different from the young women who walked out the door twenty years ago. Peter's parents are just delighted to have their little girl back, but Peter and his best friend Richie, Tara's one time boyfriend, are not so sure. Tara seems happy enough but there is something about her. A haunted, otherworldly quality. Some would say it's as if she's off with the fairies. And as the months go by Peter begins to suspect that the woods around their homes are not finished with Tara and his family...
No doubt these will be hugely popular as Graham Joyce books regularly fetch over £250 on popular book collecting websites!
Have a great day!
