Hot Singles In Your Area by Jordan Shively:

Noah is a dissolute young man who needs a job.  He gets one with ‘Printed Matter’, a local freesheet; which is a front for an organisation that contains something a lot more mysterious than missing dogs and items for sale.  

If you were looking for something that was Harry Potter for grownups (and slightly less hateful), a little Lovecraftian and with a hint of Pratchett and Gaiman, you might find it here.  It’s weaknesses for me lie in its structure - the three POV construction seems too episodic.  See also, it’s use of pages from the newspaper itself, repeated words and illustrations use up what is an already short page count (just under 200).  

It’s emblamatic of an idea that could have done with more work and space.  It’s a weird read that some will find wonderful, but not for me.  It’s released by Unbound on 7th November and I thank them for a preview copy.  #hotsinglesinyourarea.
