Memories are the ghosts that haunt us.
Kat should know. Twenty years have passed since a tragedy drove her away from her closest friends, a rag-tag group of magic-wielding storytellers. The death of beloved teacher draws her back to her hometown, and the Wordsmiths gather for one last round of stories.
They awaken the familiar old magic, and along with it, the rules they had once broken. Their stories cannot stop.
The Wordsmiths' reunion turns sinister when the secrets of their stories are threatened. Kat must work together with her former friends and figure out who she can trust, before tragedy strikes again.
The Wordsmiths is both a speculative thriller novel and an anthology of scary short stories. Within the narrative of the novel, the stories the characters tell are separate pieces of short fiction, written by authors across the United States, Canada, and the UK. The book can be read cover-to-cover, or the short fiction can be enjoyed separately from the novel.
