Something Wickedly Weird: The Darkling Curse Synopsis
Award-winning illustrator Chris Mould makes his gripping authorial debut with this darkly humorous series. The island of Crampton Rock has emerged from pirate battle. But something far more sinister is on the move. What claim does the Darkling family have on Stanley Buggles' home? And do the Darkling twins really keep a two-headed snake as a pet?
Chris Mould is an award-winning illustrator who went to art school at 16. A sublime draftsman with a penchant for the gothic, he has illustrated the gamut from picture books and young fiction, to theatre posters and satirical cartoons for national newspapers. As well as writing his own fiction, he has teamed up with author Matt Haig for the bestselling A Boy Called Christmas, A Girl Called Christmas and Father Christmas and Me. He lives in Yorkshire with his wife, has two grown-up daughters, and when he’s not drawing and writing, you’ll find him… actually, he’s never not drawing or writing.
