68 Book Four, Interlude

"Assam & Darjeeling"

"Assam & Darjeeling" is the story of two children who set out to rescue their dead mother from the Underworld -- a nightmare place where the mythological desperately tries to keep pace with the world above. The children encounter cell-phone carrying demons, forgotten deities from defunct pantheons waiting tables, and one nasty character called Juniper who takes a particular, personal interest in their quest. With Book Four well underway, Juniper is getting impatient of waiting here in the interludes. He wants his part of the story to begin.
