Cat’s Eye Corner

Terry Griggs

When Olivier visited his grandfather, retired to Cat’s Eye Corner with a purported witch, he hadn’t expected a mansion with shifting rooms, doors with mirrored keyholes, and cats named Bliss, Edgar, Allen, and Poe. He hadn’t imagined a scavenger hunt in the Drak Would (Dark Woods) in search of curious items that would become powerful talismans on a quest to recover a fantastical book buried at the bottom of Nevermore Lake. He definitely hadn’t expected the So-So Gang, a talking pen named Murray Shaeffer, teenaged oracles Holy Moly and Holy Hannah, a swarm of French-speaking flies, and a girl named Linnett who controls the wind. But strangest of all were the Inklings, word fairies capable of rearranging letters so that nothing was as it seemed ...

Terry Griggs is the author of The Lusty Man and Quickening, nominated for the Governor General’s Award. Her work has also appeared in The New Story Writers, The Journey Prize Anthology, and Writing Home. She lives on Manitoulin Island, Ontario.
