ORDINARY MONSTERS
Hidden talents
RELEASED OUT NOW! 672 pages | Hardback/ebook Author JM Miro Publisher Bloomsbury
JM Miro’s Ordinary Monsters, book one of new series The Talents, might just be the fantasy debut of the year – although technically it’s the pseudonymous work of established Canadian novelist and poet Steven Price, who’s taking his first plunge into genre fiction.
The tale begins with a runaway girl finding a glowing baby next to a body in a train boxcar, blossoming outwards from there to pull in a Scottish school for people with extraordinary talents, a portal between worlds, and a man shrouded in shadows who is hunting for a missing boy.
