About this listen

Driven by poverty, Spin and her makeshift family move to the Songwynds in search of work. There they share a tiny, rat-infested tenement room with their adoptive Ma: a ferocious wishhobbler.

A monster of a mother, and the mother of all monsters, the wishhobbler’s viciousness has caused fear and mayhem among the slum dwellers. Unable to hit back at the wishhobbler, her victims turn their attention to Spin. An outsider wherever she goes—haunted by thugs and bullies—Spin finds a way to enter the carefully guarded and lethal world of Victorian Racing Televisions.

When the wishhobbler disrupts the carefully laid plans of the mysterious Racers, Spin finds herself at the center of a deadly confrontation.

But it’s with the revelation of a centuries old Knight of the Implicate Order that things really take a turn for the worse....

This dark urban fairy tale is a must for anyone who's ever been bored, bullied, or lived with a monster.
