DOODLED BOOK ALERT!!! PRAISED BY J K ROWLING!!! YOU CAN NOW PRE-ORDER HOUSE OF SECRETS!!!
Now you can collect a stunning children's book which is
definitely going to be talked about for years to come!
Hailed as ‘A breakneck, jam-packed, roller coaster of an adventure’
by none other than J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter). HOUSE OF SECRETS
follows three siblings and their family as they are forced to move to a
mysterious new house in San Francisco and end up embarking on a journey to
retrieve a dark book of untold power. The first story in an epic fantasy
adventure trilogy! Written by the famous Chris Columbus and Ned
Vizzini
When Brendan, Cordelia and Nell move to Kristoff House they have no
idea that they are about to unleash the dark magic locked within. For the house
once belonged to a crazed writer, whose stories have come to life. Literally.
Now the Walker kids must battle against deadly pirates, bloodthirsty warriors
and a bone-crunching giant. If they fail they will never see their parents again
and a power-mad Witch will take over the world. No pressure then . .

House of Secrets is the first book in a major new series. It’s

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 .

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!

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...
