LATEST TITLE COMING SOON FROM CANDY JAR BOOKS!

Candy Jar Books is pleased to announce its latest book, 'Beware of the Mirror Man', published in collaboration with Screaming Dreams.

Due for release in the new year, 'Beware of the Mirror Man' is the debut novel from Benjamin Burford-Jones and tells the story of two children who befriend the mysterious 'mimics':

"Gathering dust in Sophie’s deserted attic is an ancient black and white television set. Beyond the cobwebs and the old bits of furniture, it serves as a refuge, a home, and a studio for the strange little creatures, known as mimics, who perform live from inside the TV. Sophie quickly finds new friends among these peaceable creatures, but very soon she begins to receive mysterious notes of warning...‘Beware the Mirror Man’."

This is a fantastical and heartwarming tale of curses and mirrors, ancient foes and the fluffy little creatures living in your attic.

You can pre-order your copy of Beware of the Mirror Man, available in hardback, for the price of just £9.99 (RRP £12.99), by going here.

COMIC CON COMES TO TOWN

2012 saw the return of the highly successful Cardiff International Comic and Arts Expo. The expo began last year as a one day event. However, due to strong interest CICAE returned this year over an extended two day period. Famous faces included Colin Baker and Mike Ploog. The expo also featured both Candy Jar Ltd and Screaming Dreams.

The Candy Jar team had worked tirelessly prior to the expo in order to launch not one, but two books. We were extremely excited to present the most recent work from the mind of Terry Cooper with the unveiling of ‘Kangazang!: Star Stuff’, the follow-up to Terry’s recent hit, ‘Kangazang!: Remote Possibilities’. ‘Star Stuff’ follows Jeff Spooner on another crazy intergalactic adventure with more hi-jinks than you can shake a sonic screwdriver at.

In conjunction with the release of ‘Star Stuff’, we were proud to introduce new author, Benjamin Burford-Jones and his first novel, ‘Beware of the Mirror Man’, a terrifying tale of two young children being terrorised by the mysterious Mirror Man! And fluffy creatures called mimics.

Overall, the expo was very successful for both Candy Jar and Screaming Dreams and ‘Kangazang: Star Stuff’ and ‘Beware of the Mirror Man’ were well received. We all look forward to CICAE in 2013! (providing the Mayan’s were wrong and the world doesn’t end!)
