A simple morning at the flea market becomes a surreal and nightmarish adventure when Linda’s five-year-old son slips from her grasp… and vanishes.
Linda follows her son across an unseen threshold. The flea market is gone. In its place sprawls the Goblin Market, an endless labyrinth of strange tents, grotesque vendors, cursed bargains, and creatures that slink through shadow. Here, nothing is free. Every step has a price. And the Market has its own rules for those who are lost.
Armed with a living, oil-black sword called Wraithbrand, Linda forces her way through conjurers, assassins, flesh-mongers, and fortune-tellers as she hunts for her missing child. She is aided by another lost soul and a worm-bodied goblin with secrets of his own.
The Market watches her. Judges her. Shapes her. And Linda is changing.
The deeper she ventures into the Goblin Market’s twisted streets, the more Wraithbrand awakens something inside her. A rage, a power, and a terrifying capacity for violence. To save her son, Linda will tear her way through anything that stands in her way until all that remains is a mother, her sword, and the ruin she leaves behind.
GOBLINVILLE: THE MOTHER AND THE MARKET is a dark-fantasy novella of desperation, monstrous magic, and the terrifying lengths a parent will go to for their child. In Goblinville, nothing is fair. Nothing is forgiven. And nothing is more dangerous than a mother who refuses to give up.
