Wicked needs no introduction but if you think the book is the same as the musical, think again! The musical takes the bare bones and that's it. Wicked, the book, is closer to something like Game of Thrones. It's high fantasy with interesting characters and an Oz where Elphaba is less magical than is believed. It's a tale about how easy it is to do good and yet be seen as evil due to the manipulations of true evil. It doesn't shy away from real issues that are still prevalent in the real world today.
An astonishingly rich re-creation of the land of Oz, this book retells the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, who wasn't so wicked after all. Taking readers past the yellow brick road and into a phantasmagoric world rich with imagination and allegory, Gregory Maguire just might change the reputation of one of the most sinister characters in literature.

I loved Ghoster, a lot. It's a ghost story that focuses on relationships, fear and addiction. If you think you know where the story's going, good luck.
'Twisty, creepy and absolutely absorbing' Sarah Pinborough
'A helter-skelter collision of social media and the supernatural. Hugely enjoyable' Chris Brookmyre
'A fiendishly smart exploration of obsession and social media addiction' Sarah Lotz
