  • Praise for Michelle Paver
    Praise for Michelle Paver ‘Dark Matter is . [a] wild beast that grabs you by the neck’ Te Times ‘Te ultimate test of a good ghost story is, surely, whether you feel panicked reading it in bed at midnight; two-thirds through, I found myself suddenly afraid to look out of the windows, so I’ll call it a success’ Observer ‘Told in the increasingly fearful words of Jack as he writes in his journal, this is a blood-curdling ghost story, evocative not just of icy northern wastes but of a mind as, trapped, it turns in on itself ’ Daily Mail ‘Paver has created a tale of terror and beauty and wonder.

  • Mezolith: Stone Age Dreams and Nightmares (Book 2)
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews MEZOLITH: STONE AGE DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES (BOOK 2) BY BEN HAGGARTY AND ADAM BROCKBANK Boom Studios, 2016, 96pp; extensively illustrated, ISBN- 978-1608868315, hb, £18.99 This graphic novel is the second volume within the MeZolith series. It tells the story of Poika; a young boy growing up as part of the Kansa tribe in Eastern Britain during the Early Mesolithic, and is set sometime after the events of MeZolith, with Poika’s father notably older and Poika himself taking up more responsibilities within the Kansa tribe. The structure of Book 2 is similar to that of Book 1 (Haggarty & Brockbank 2010), mixing Poika’s over-arching, coming-of-age narrative with shorter interludes of myth and dream which illustrate the wider cosmology of the Kansa and foreshadow various plot points within the main story. It sits alongside a flurry of novels (perhaps best termed ‘historical fiction’) which have addressed the Mesolithic of Northwest Europe in recent years (e.g. Elphinstone 2010; Paver 2005; 2006; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2010). For Mesolithic research, a period which suffers from a documented low-level of awareness within the public consciousness (Milner et al. 2015), attracting the attention of renowned performance story-teller Ben Haggarty and concept artist Adam Brockbank (who’s CV boast Star Wars: Rogue One, the Harry Potter films and Captain America: The First Avenger) represents something of a coup. MeZolith Book 1 was critically acclaimed, receiving a Times Graphic Novel of the Year Award in 2010 and glowing reviews from those within the world of comics publishing.

  • Michelle Paver
    Book Interview Michelle Paver Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #5: Oath Breaker ISBN13: 9780060728397 What are you working on now? Right now, I'm getting deeper and deeper into a new series, which is immensely exciting. However, like many writers, I'm a bit superstitious about discussing my stories before I've actually written them, so I'm afraid I can't tell you very much. Like Torak's story, the new series will be set in prehistoric times -- although at a slightly later period, and in a different part of the world. But that's all I can say for now! Where do you get your ideas? The short answer is that I really don't know -- they just come. But it's true to say that once I've got the bare bones of a story, I often get ideas from my own research trips to faraway places. Take Ghost Hunter, for example. The story takes place in the High Mountains, and it tells of Torak's final battle against the strongest, most terrifying Soul-Eater of all: Eostra the Eagle Owl Mage. To research the story, I traveled to Finnish Lapland in midwinter, where I went snowshoeing through the forest, following the trail of a female moose and trying (unsuccessfully) to talk to ravens. And I spent time in the mountains of northern Norway, where I encountered herds of musk oxen. They look like small, extremely shaggy bison, and they can be quite bad-tempered, so you've got to be careful not to get too close. Also, I climbed one of the mountains and fell down part of it -- which really helped me understand what Torak goes through on the Mountain of Ghosts.

They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic.
