The Rabbit Back Literature Society

“Twin Peaks meets the Brothers Grimm” when a teacher joins a smalltown writers group in this literary mystery (The Telegraph (UK)).

Only nine people have ever been chosen by renowned children’s author Laura White to join the Rabbit Back Literature Society, an elite group of writers in the small town of Rabbit Back. Now a tenth member has been selected: a young literature teacher named Ella.

Soon Ella discovers that the Society is not what it seems. What is its mysterious ritual known as “The Game?” What explains the strange disappearance that occurs at Laura White’s winter party? Why are the words inside books starting to rearrange themselves? Was there once another tenth member, before her? Slowly, as Ella explores the Society and its history, disturbing secrets that had been buried for years start to come to light. . . .

Praise for The Rabbit Back Literature Society

“The novel gives a compelling view of the strangeness that lurks beneath the most “normal” places and people, and it draws on elements of myth, fairy tale and ghost story to increase the scary factor . . . Jääskeläinen hits the right creepy note to make the hairs on the neck stand up. . . . Read with all the lights on!” —Kirkus Reviews

“A voyeuristic literary mystery with bits of Blue Velvet and shades of The Shadow of the Wind.” —Tor.com
