Why They Cry

Three short stories set in the exciting Irongate universe, featuring the perpetually angry tween anti-hero Tenley Tych, and her adopted adult, the tech-witch and lighthouse keeper Jennifer Airhart. In Cold Call, Tenley has recently moved into her new home, when the phone that hasn't rang in years now does so. Could she be speaking to a ghost? In Why They Cry, Tenley awakens to a perfect life. Her mother loves her. Her father sends her birthday cards full of cash. Yet she is filled with a nagging that this is not her life at all, and a message that keeps repeating in her head; Remember the Rabbit... Finally, in King of the Dump, Tenley accompanies Jennifer on a scavenging trip, collecting junk to be turned into who-knows-what contraptions Jenn's mind will come up with. Little do they know that they have disturbed a guardian.
