  • ...the natural heir to Terry Pratchett (SFRevu)

    David Lee Stone is a wonderfully mad talent to watch. He has a truly original comic voice and you won't forget his hysterically hopeless (rather than heroic) characters in a hurry! (Wendy Cooling)

    The Illmoor Chronicles include all the ingredients any self respecting young, or indeed old, bookworm could desire - wizards, goblins, sprites and vampires, plus a lot of comedy. (Kent on Sunday)

    Take a bucketful of Blackadder, mix in a dollop of Harry Potter, add a splash of Lord of the Rings, shake vigorously and you end up with this hilarious cocktail. (Flipside)

    As a rising tide of rats threatens the peace and tranquility of Dullitch, the insanely devious Duke Modeset decides to cure the plague by hiring a country boy with a precocious talent for music…a country boy he has absolutely no intention of paying. Unfortunately for the bankrupt noble and his minions, music isn’t the only talent possessed by Diek Wustapha, who is mired so deeply in dark magic that he hears voices and can enchant any mind to follow him at will. The only things standing between the citizens of Dullitch and utter chaos are Jimmy Quickstint, a thief with little money and less morals, Tambor Forestall, a wizard who took early retirement for all the wrong reasons, and Groan Teethgrit, a psychopathic barbarian known for charging recklessly at anything with a pulse.

    Originally published as The Ratastrophe Catastrophe by Hodder in the UK, Disney in the USA and Sony in Japan. Over 100 thousand copies sold worldwide.
    This title has now been re-branded and re-released under Kingsbrook Publishing with an updated timeline.
