About this audiobook
Have you ever passed a shop that wasn't there the day before? When Gip and his father step off the mundane pavement of Regent Street and into the "Genuine Magic Shop," they expect nothing more than card tricks and glass balls. But inside, the mirrors distort more than just reflections, and the shopman—a man with one ear larger than the other—produces more than just rabbits from a hat. Coloured fire drips from fingertips, lead soldiers march with a life of their own, and a terrifyingly "genuine" magic begins to pulse behind the counter. As the walls shift and the exit vanishes, a father’s amusement turns to cold, heart-gripping dread. Was it a dream, a trick, or did they stumble into a dimension where the laws of reality no longer apply? In a place where the shopkeeper knows your name and the toys possess a heartbeat, the only thing more dangerous than getting lost is finding exactly what you were looking for... Press play now and step into the shadows—before the shop disappears again!
