Following the success of The Darker Side of Wight, Peter J. Murray returns with a brand-new collection of short stories for young readers.
The Even Darker Side of Wight brings ten frightening new tales packed with adventure and mystery, turning familiar Isle of Wight locations into settings filled with spooky suspense.
Familiar places, frightening stories
Readers will return to locations from the first book, such as the Garlic Farm, and discover new places and characters, including a terrifying doll from Osborne House in The Osborne Doll! (Story 2).
The Isle of Wight may be a much-loved holiday destination, but Murray’s stories invite readers to see the Island from a very different perspective.
Dubbed the “Isle of Fright” by the author, these familiar places take on a sinister atmosphere as the tales unfold, creating stories that will ignite the imagination and keep readers on the edge of their seats – or up all night!
School visits and UK tour
Peter is sharing his latest book with presentations at 11 schools across the Island and is set to tour and appear in schools across the UK and reveal the Island’s fascinating – and sometimes frightening – side.
A passion for promoting all that the Island has to offer
Peter J Murray said,
“I’m amazed at the interest and enthusiastic response from young readers, parents and teachers on both Darker Side of Wight titles.
“As the author, I share with the Island’s award-winning Medina Bookshop and Medina Publishing, who have brought out these best-selling books; a passion for promoting all that the Island has to offer and for improving literacy and oracy across all generations.”
