Spiraling: A Slow Descent into Madness
by Sir John Colfox School Students
Kenning poems, murders in seaside towns, and other tales of mystery, and intrigue await. Descend into madness through these stories of darkness, unexpected twists, and frequently black or grey pages. Fear dark corners, spirits, silence, rusty doors, and tunnels.
— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors
From the publisher: “This anthology is the culmination of six weekly sessions with a group of Year 9 pupils from Sir John Colfox School in Bridport. We started by asking a simple question: What do you find eerie?
From this, we gathered that eerie means very different things to different people, from hotel corridors and underground tube stations to deserted libraries and the maze that is IKEA. Some of those initial thoughts are in this book, and they started a wonderful six-week writing conversation with these teenagers.”
