Things you should know about Poppy: 1. She’s a witch. 2. She has magical hair like Rapunzel from Tangled. 3. She lives with Iris, the head of her coven, in a beautiful, ramshackle house next to Highgate cemetery. 4. She works at Hubble Bubble, a magic shop in Covent Garden. Though none of it is real magic as that would be highly irresponsible. Until…Poppy accidentally sells gorgeous celebrity magician Axl Storm, all six-foot-four of him, a cursed pendant.

The Rook family run a little business: ghost hunting. And things have picked up recently. Something's wrong. It's been getting noticeably worse since, ooh, 2016? Bad spirits are abroad, and right now they're particularly common around Coldbay Island, which isn't even abroad, it's only 20 miles from Skegness. The Rooks' 'quick call out' to the island picks loose a thread that begins to unravel the whole place, and the world beyond. Is this the apocalypse? This might be the apocalypse. Who knew it would kick off in an off-season seaside resort off the Lincolnshire coast?

Lloyd Wallace has been through a lot these past few months. He's stopped the zombie apocalypse, fought off demonic possession by the deadly sin of sloth, and helped the grim reaper get his job back. All he wants is to retreat to his oasis—Okay, so it's not an oasis. It's his childhood bedroom, in his parents' house, but still—to rest and recharge. Easy, right? Nope. First, he finds a mysterious hamster with a terrible attitude and sharp teeth in his closet. Then his manager—a salty, foul-mouthed hard-partying cockroach—moves in with him.

Sarah snuffed it, expired, breathed her last breath—also known as died, if you need it spelled out—in the most unlikely of places…the library. But do not fret! This is perfectly normal. What is not normal, however, is the persistence of one’s soul after shuffling off this mortal coil. To break the Cycle is strange and wrong and perverse. It goes against the very nature of existence: lives must eventually be recycled (responsibly). Lucky or unlucky, Sarah finds herself Cycle-broken and very much alive, depending on how strict you wish to be with that definition.

Socks—wear (where) do they go? The age old question has finally been answered. A cast of warm-hearted socks, Suzy, Holee, and a friendly flashlight named Fred, embark on a journey to get lost sock Russell back home before his big soccer game.

A host of demons with a 2,000-year grudge against the Creator can be quite the handful. This is what Hercules Leek finds himself up against, and it’s only his first day in Heaven. The angels aren’t interested. But someone has to try and stop the End of Days. Don’t they?

Always hunting for her next great dish, the search eventually leads her to a near-fatal encounter with an interdimensional spider. Awaking in a strange world where words appear before her eyes, a talking tentacle befriends her, and people are trying to kill her, Nay learns she has the ability to become an Epicurist.

А если у тебя вместо волшебной палочки - говорящий фамильяр и точка перехода между мирами, а вместо учебника - список обязанностей по баронству и Замок, собравший под своей крышей разношерстную компанию из разных рас и миров?
